90% of Apple's value was created under Tim Cook (opens in new tab)

This is just silly. Firstly, when Jobs was in charge Apple brought out the iPhone which is basically what drove Apple's value even to this day. On the flipside when Steve Jobs was in charge a plucky young man name Tim Apple became SVP for Worldwide Operations and built out Apple's supply chain in such a way that it became an enormous competitive advantage for them and that's drove a massive portion of Apple's value even to this day.

Like... we just don't have to attribute value to individuals...

More than 90% of modern civilization's economic output per capita was created after the industrial revolution, but everyone would agree that without the industrial revolution, we wouldn't have modern economies. Similarly, I think everyone agrees that without Jobs, we wouldn't have today's Apple.

No disrespect to Mr. Cook and his formidable achievements, but A LOT of the „value“ increase comes from the monetary policies in the zero interest rate economy.

Companies with big moats (OS) gets bigger. You could increase the dark patterns and Apple would earn way more because there aren't many alternatives.

As others already said, taking a company from close to bankruptcy to one of the most profitable companies in the world, now THAT is impressive.

If Cook succeeds to make a completely new moat with visionOS then that is quite impressive too but he is going to use the moats already in place so it’s still less impressive than Jobs.

90% of what Tim Cook’s Apple is doing now is still the same as what Steve Jobs was doing.

Nearly 12 years later most of the Apple top executives are repeating words spoken by Steve in public interviews.

Giant iPhone, aka iPhone 6 was actually approved by Steve Jobs before he passed away. From that onwards an insane amount of iteration.

90% of the Apple's value is the name ...

Cook has been amazing at scaling the company and sailing Apple thru some very difficult times that would have derailed other companies. Apple is a gigantic company yet people buy it's products to feel unique. It's an amazing dichotomy. He is an amazing CEO. Jobs not only picked great products but people too.

Cook’s skill sets are very unique and rare. I hope Apple is ready - or would be ready soon - for post Cook era

That graph really should be log scale. No disrespect to Tim Apple.
