    If Jobs couldn't achieve this Cook certainly shouldn't.

    It's not really an "achievement." I'm even a little confused when the article used "prestigious." It's just whoever made the biggest difference in the world that year. It's a big deal to get it, sure, but since ****** won it, I'd hardly call it "prestigious" or an achievement, per se.

    Yea that's true it's not necessarily a good thing. Also when did iFans start censoring?

    Wow. That's annoying.
    Can't even say the name of the guy who led the group of people who were very anti-Semitic.

    iFans mods are literally ******.

    Didn't ****** win it once?! Just because you won it doesn't make you a good person. Tim Cook certainly shouldn't win it. There are people in the world that have made a far bigger impact this year.

    Why is that mans name censored?! It's a name, which is talked about all the time still. Hardly offensive.

    I think sometimes we overlook the shoes he's had to fill. Apple have done a couple of things this year that I haven't liked, and for the first time they've made a few devices that aren't as amazingly desirable as in the past, well that's my opinion anyway. I bought the iPod 5th gen because I wanted an iPod touch that was faster, but I'm selling it because I don't find the proportions of it very aesthetically pleasing. I think they could very much change the screen size around again next year, look at Samsung. I'm not saying Samsung are serious apple rivals, yet. But they are at least doing some things right to be the supposed fallback for apple customers.

    I personally think apple will start looking to refresh their devices more frequently. Maybe even an iPhone 5s early next year and then an iPhone 6 later. It would be easy for them because they already have the parts in production and they just change the internals. The iPhone 6 gets a redesign. I don't know, just thoughts.

    I think that the design of things are very aesthetically pleasing. So much so that whenever I see the iPad mini or iPhone 5 or the new iPod Touch I am in awe. I think the hardware designs are absolutely beautiful. It's the software that's not very good. I updated my grandparent's iPad 2 to iOS 6 on the weekend, and when they asked what was new I realised that there was nothing to show except for a new clock app.

    I think that this year Jonny and his team redesigned all of the hardware, and next year they can really focus on redesigning the software.
