There’d be one iPhone size.

Ive wouldn’t have hung around as long as he did

No glass

The M series of chips would have happened a few years earlier.

The iPad and Mac would be the same thing

AirPods Pro/Max would be independently capable music players.

The watch would never have happened

Apple, as a company, would be more focussed.

Agree on the first point.

Or at least it would have taken longer for the sizing splits to happen.

But dude, Steve loved Johnny. Steve probably would have indulged Johnnys worst tendencies for ages. Thinner and thinner phones. Removing more buttons and ports.
