I don't want to speculate on what he's got, because the rumor mill will certainly take care of that. But I'm pretty sure Apple will survive without him. It may look to outsiders like Jobs is running the whole show. Truth is that he is mostly a charismatic and inspiring leader with 20+ levels of project/product/team groups working below him. Although it was his vision that rebranded Apple into a hipster consumer device brand, it will be the mid- and low-level men and women who churn out the great products and devices that Apple is now known for. I personally think Jobs has given Apple enough vision to last at least another 5 years, and I think he has grown the company into something that is now brave and smart enough to figure out by itself what to do after that. Jobs may speak for Apple, but he is not Apple.
