Was just curious as to who you all think will become the next CEO after Jobs leaves? (naturally someday far off we all can hope)



Be fun to gather together a top 10 list of who it could be.



My bet would be Jonathan Ive's just for his public face time and fame. Good company image.



And in a Parallel universe I think Stephen Colbert would make it. Just imagine the products that Apple would come out with. Colbert Apple Pod! StephenMac. Aww the possibilities would be endless.

    Phil Schiller has the tenure but I think he's provided too much comedy relief to be "The Keynote" guy.



    My guess is that the next CEO will not handle the keynotes. Apple will give that task to someone on Scott Forstall ..who appeals to younger consumers than say a Schiller.



    The CEO doesn't have to give the Keynotes...Jobs has always had the gift of gab so it was natural. Apple doesn't need some stuffy suit giving Keynotes.

    The next CEO doesn't need to give the Keynotes, but he shouldn't be a stuffy suit either. Keynote skills do help though,
