But the mood turned 180 degrees a day later . Sad news coming out of Palo Alto , when Apple founder Steve Jobs reportedly died in his home . Quoted from the pages of the Guardian , Jobs died at age 56 after years of battling pancreatic cancer diidapnya . This disease is also what makes Jobs resigned as Apple's CEO on August 24, 2011 .
Without Steve Jobs
Quoting a poem Subagio Sastrowardoyo , death for Steve Jobs already feels familiar . It was once diungkapnya in a speech at Stanford University graduation ceremony in 2005 . Of the three parts of the story that is told , Steve Jobs leaving the part about death . Jobs also explains his attitude after sentenced to suffer an incurable cancer in October 2003.
" Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the ' tool ' is very important that help me to determine the major life choice , " he said . " Death is the best invention of Life created . This is a change agent . Obviously if the parents will give way to the younger , " Jobs said at the time.
Steve Jobs is ready to face death . But Apple is not ready to be left Steve Jobs . So far, Jobs is known as the spirit of innovation at Apple . The fate of Apple without Steve Jobs began to be questioned .
A day after the death of Steve Jobs , Apple's stock dropped . Quoted from page Bloomberg , Apple's stock is down 88 cents to U.S. $ 377.37 . Market reaction when it was only because of shock . But still doubt Tim Cook could bring Apple into a company that delivers innovative products .
So the iPhone 5 Proof
Apple continues to prove its innovation despite Steve Jobs left . Would release new iPhone is expected to be a proof . Because since the iPhone was introduced in 2007 , many consider the iPhone getting boring .
New on 4 September 2012 , Apple showed the iPhone 5 as the new iPhone . Design does not look to change , only this time the screen size is enlarged to 4 inches . But the iPhone 5 still made ​​it convenient to use with one hand , because the chosen design is elongated and not widened . Citing Techradar , the design of the iPhone 5 also comes 18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter , and of course with a more elegant form .
Performance of the iPhone 5 is also reinforced by presenting the A6 chip with 1 GB RAM . Apple also pinned the Lightning connector makes charging time becomes shorter . Nano - SIM is also used , so that the iPhone 5 was so dense without slot bothered unnecessary space .
Physically, the iPhone 5 is indeed mesmerizing . Elegant design and performance of a powerful an attraction gadget lover . According to the Guardian , Steve Jobs is still ' intervene ' in the design and development of hardware in the iPhone 5 .
But problems arise in software , ie iOS 6 operating system is used . In particular , Apple Maps the source of the problem .
Apple Maps Caused Polemic
Apple did betting on iPhone 5 with ' dispose ' of Google applications as native applications on iOS 6 operating system . For a map , relying on Apple iPhone 5 Maps than Google Maps. YouTube is lost on the main screen and must be downloaded first.
The result ? Apple Maps disappointing and Venture Beat reveal only 4 percent of users who use Apple iOS 6 Maps. Apple makes bad Maps Google Maps again present in the Apple App Store . Even Apple Maps is considered as one of the weaknesses of the iPhone 5 . Not quite , even considered to be weaknesses of Apple Maps Apple under Tim Cook's leadership .
Reporting from CNN , Tim Cook later apologized for the poor performance of Apple Maps. " We apologize for causing user frustration . We will do whatever we can to make Maps better, " wrote Tim Cook . As if giving in to Google , Tim Cook also advises users to use Google Maps.
Polemic continues. Quoted from Mashable , poor mapping of Apple Maps ' ate victim ' . Was a Senior Vice President in charge of Apple iOS , Scott Forstall , who resigned from the company . Tim Cook admitted Forstall dismissed from office because of problems in collaboration and coordination . But rumors circulated Forstall was fired because he refused to apologize for the poor performance of Apple Maps.
Innovation Continues Questionable
With iPhone 5 , Apple is still maintaining a profit. Earnings and revenue Apple is still collected . But the value of the stock down . Citing Forbes , former Chief Operating Officer Bob Herbold even mention Tim Cook is responsible for the decline in Apple shares . In his prime , Apple's stock price had reached U.S. $ 700 per sheet .
But now Apple's stock ranged in price of only U.S. $ 400 . At time of writing , Apple's stock on the Nasdaq was valued at U.S. $ 472.3 per share. Certainly reasonable if Herbold began to doubt the future of Apple .
It also makes the Board of Directors of Apple's worries . Venture Beat proclaim , Tim Cook Apple 's Board of Directors considered too slow to innovate . When compared to competitors , it must be admitted that the iPhone development was noticeably slow .
For example , HTC is introducing a new feature to the camera in the HTC ultrapixel technology . Samsung which is the main competitor Apple also released the Galaxy S4 with advanced features like Smart Scroll which allows users to move the screen in the browser just by eye . There is also a feature that moves the water Gesture screen without touching it directly .
Apple did improve . Two new iPhone was introduced on 10 September 2013 : iPhone 5S premium segment continues 5C iPhone and iPhone aimed at the middle segment with a variety of attractive colors . This is also seen two different iPhone with iOS 7 is tilled design designer Jonathan Ive .
What about the innovations that were presented ? iPhone 5S is promising specification capable with A7 processor chip and fingerprint scanner technology . 5S iPhone also comes with new exciting colors : gold .


But iPhone 5C considered no different from the previous iPhone . 5C iPhone only difference in a variety of colors and materials used polycarbonate . Nokia even thank Apple for iPhone 5C considered a variety of colors to imitate the steps he did to Lumia .
Apple's new iPhone marketing the iPhone 5S and 5C today . So that sales success is unknown . But there are also uncertain about the iPhone 5C . Initially , the iPhone called 5C appear to compete with other smartphones targeting mid -end segment . But the price of the iPhone 5C considered too expensive . Apple no doubt be successful selling iPhone 5C .
However , after six years of presence in the market , the iPhone admittedly success brings revolutionary device . Since 2007 , the iPhone is to evolve , with changes in a slow and imperceptible significantly from year to year .
So does Apple still has a surprise after the iPhone has come to be boring ? Currently Apple is known is developing iWatch smart watches . Not impossible iWatch and iPhone integration could be interesting blend that creates a new revolution in the future .
