It’s been one year since the death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, and the company’s new leader Tim Cook has been endlessly compared to the former CEO. There’s no denying that Jobs revolutionized the tech industry and truly impacted the way we communicate and connect with others, but on the anniversary of his death, Apple experts are urging people to stop comparing Cook with his former boss.

“The company has changed, but that is inevitable,” said Robert X. Cringely, a veteran tech journalist and author of Accidental Empires: How the Boys of Silicon Valley Make Their Millions, Battle Foreign Competition.

“I do think it’s wrong that people keep asking, ‘What would happen if Steve were still alive?’” said Jim Dalrymple, editor in chief at The Loop. “Tim Cook is not Steve and he doesn’t try to be. He is his own man and he’ll run Apple the way he thinks is best. Steve chose Tim to succeed him as CEO, so clearly he had confidence in his abilities to run the company.” Dalrymple added that the company has made great strides in the past year, all under Cook’s guidance.
