After Steve by Tripp Mickle Book Summary
From the New York Times' Tripp Mickle, the dramatic, untold story inside Apple after the passing of Steve Jobs by following his top lieutenants—Jony Ive, the Chief Design Officer, and Tim Cook, the COO-turned-CEO—and how the fading of the former and the rise of the latter led to Apple losing its soul.
Steve Jobs called Jony Ive his “spiritual partner at Apple.” The London-born genius was the second-most powerful person at Apple and the creative force who most embodies Jobs’s spirit, the man who designed the products adopted by hundreds of millions the world over: the iPod, iPad, MacBook Air, the iMac G3, and the iPhone. In the wake of his close collaborator’s death, the chief designer wrestled with grief and initially threw himself into his work designing the new Apple headquarters and the Watch before losing his motivation in a company increasingly devoted more to margins than to inspiration.
In many ways, Cook was Ive’s opposite. The product of a small Alabama town, he had risen through the ranks from the supply side of the company. His gift was not the creation of new products. Instead, he had invented countless ways to maximize a margin, squeezing some suppliers, persuading others to build factories the size of cities to churn out more units. He considered inventory evil. He knew how to make subordinates sweat with withering questions.
Jobs selected Cook as his successor, and Cook oversaw a period of tremendous revenue growth that has lifted Apple’s valuation to $2 trillion. He built a commanding business in China and rapidly distinguished himself as a master politician who could forge global alliances and send the world’s stock market into freefall with a single sentence.
Author Tripp Mickle spoke with more than 200 current and former Apple executives, as well as figures key to this period of Apple’s history, including Trump administration officials and fashion luminaries such as Anna Wintour while writing After Steve. His research shows the company’s success came at a cost. Apple lost its innovative spirit and has not designed a new category of device in years. Ive’s departure in 2019 marked a culmination in Apple’s shift from a company of innovation to one of operational excellence, and the price is a company that has lost its soul.

Satisfying Read. Satisfying read. Made me appreciate the devices I’ve come to take for granted even more.
Insights. Good story about Tim and c-suite team.
Biased in all the wrong ways. Complex relationships and characters are reduced to a creatives versus accountants tale that is heavy handed in its adulation of Ive and nasty criticism of Cook. Interesting story but really hard to stomach the clumsiness.
Slay. Slayed the Apple Campus [house] down AirPods [boots]
Great Book. From what I’ve read so far, it’s a great book that took talent to write about Apple after its mastermind, Steve Jobs

Just a few chapters worth it.. It was a good read, nothing that I think stood out. (There we’re just a few chapters that was interesting) Steve Jobs Bio book was better.
Another book about Apple?. After Steve by New York Times reporter Tripp Mickle depicts an epic battle between design and operations in the post-Jobs era. After Apple co-founder and visionary Steve Jobs died in 2011 the company was left in the hands of Tim Cook, an operations wizard, and Jony Ive, a designer extraordinaire. While Ive enjoyed a cohesive relationship with Jobs it could not have been more different with Cook. Despite not having access to both Ive and Cook Mickle is able to piece together how their relationship dissolved. Both men are perfectionists but Ive was more concerned with aesthetics while Cook was more concerned with costs. In the ensuing years Apple hasn’t produced a product as transformative as the iPhone. Instead Apple has performed like an old world economy company making upgrades every year to the iPhone while making the pivot to services such as the App Store, iCloud and Apple Music. But the money keeps rolling in and the valuation keeps climbing. The company has gone from being an innovator to one managing the bottom line. It all plays well to Cook’s strengths. But has the company become complacent? Will an upstart unseat them from their perch just like Apple unseated Blackberry and Palm? Just like the question, “Do we really need another iPhone update?” comes the question, “Do we really need another book about Apple?” The reader won’t find many tidbits about Jobs in this book as Mickle makes one thing clear: It’s Tim Cook’s Apple now. For the gold standard Walter Isaacson’s biography on Jobs will do. But if you’re inclined for the latest on Apple there should be a book on the company coming out every year.
