Steve jobs, co-founder of apple inc, died
on October 5th 2011.
When he passed away, he left behind a legendary
tech empire.
He is credited with being the pioneer of the
microcomputer revolution that took place in
the 70s and 80s.
Our world would be a very different place
if he had never been born, and It would also
be a very different place if he were still
alive today.
Today, life’s biggest questions asks, what
if steve jobs were alive today.
Hello and welcome back to Life’s Biggest
questions.
I’m your host, charlotte dobre.

Before I get into this video, tell us in the
comments below what kind of phone you have,
and don’t forget to get into heated arguments
about which is better.
Like you needed a reminder, amirite.
One thing that would undoubtedly be different
if Steve jobs were still alive is the size
of iPhones.
One of Steve Jobs believed he had figured
out the perfect length for iPhones, 3.5 inches.
The whole point of the 3.5 inches is that
it fits perfectly in your hand, your thumb
can reach the other side of the screen.
But have you ever tried to hold an iPhone
6,7,or 8 plus in your hand?
Its huge!
At 6 inches in length, You can barely type
with one hand.
I’ve got a 7 plus and I definitely miss
the good old days where you only needed your
thumb to be able to text.
If steve jobs were still alive, he would have
kept the iPhone at a length of 3.5 inches
and instead found ways to make it more compact.
And by the way, steve jobs would have hated
the iPhone 5c. that iPhone was a failure for
a reason.
First of all, he would not have been down
for the colors, the plastic…any of it.
There is no way Steve jobs would have let
the 5C exist.
Steve Jobs was famous for his risk taking.
He once said, I’ve always been attracted
to revolutionary changes.
I mean think about the ipod.
It was an mp3 player with a circular click
wheel.
How did he even think of that?
Jobs pioneered the idea of a tablet, the Ipad.
Music platforms are modelled off of iTunes.
Since tim cook took over, he hasn’t really
taken that many risks.
I mean yeah, now we have the apple watch which
is an excellent product.
But some of the products that apple has released
in the last few years are such an eye roll.
Like air pods.
Don’t get me wrong, the fact that there
is no annoying cord is amazing.
But the fact that you have to charge airpods
by putting them in a case and then also charge
the case?
Ya Steve would have hated that, and would
have found a way around it.
And don’t even get me started with the no
headphone jack thing.
If Steve jobs were alive today, apple would
have so many revolutionary, unique products.
Jobs was not the inventor of apple products,
but he was the visionary, and he would have
envisioned a remarkable, futuristic world.
Its honestly so difficult to imagine what
steve jobs would have envisioned, because
he envisioned things you didn’t even know
you wanted or needed, things that make lives
much easier.
Think about it.
Iglasses.
I mean Google did it first, but maybe cook
would have beat them to it, and made them
better.
Instead of glasses, microcomputer contact
lenses, which are being developed by other
companies.
You could be driving to work and in the right-hand
corner of your eye, your daily agenda is displayed.
You could take pictures with a blink of an
eye, with stunning quality.
Do you sometimes feel like people choose technology
like they choose a religion?
You’re either an apple guy or a Microsoft
guy.
You’re either an iPhone user or a Samsung
user.
I know there are other phone brands but you
get what I mean.
People are very passionate about which tech
company they support, especially when it comes
down to something as vital as a smartphone.
If Steve were still around today, the feud
between apple, Microsoft and Google would
be even more heated than it currently is,
if you can picture that.
Jobs hated Microsoft and Google and that was
no secret.
Steve jobs once threatened to go quote ‘thermonuclear’
on apple’s smartphone rival, Google.
Diehard apple fans would likely follow his
example.
Since Tim cook took over apple, he’s made
apple play nice with its competitors.
Apple settled patent lawsuits with Google
with minimal damage, it’s likely Steve jobs
might not have gone about that feud the same
way.
He hated the fact that people copied his ideas,
and there would have been a lot of long, bloody
legal battles over them.
Tim Cook and the rest of the team at apple
haven’t exactly run Jobs’ company into
the ground.
Apple is still one of the most profitable
tech companies on
the planet.
