Company culture isn't going to change much at Apple.

They have programs like Apple University and the memory of Steve Jobs will always loom large over the company.

And Apple could've focused primarily on advertising decades ago. But they didn't because it's just not in their DNA. They are and will forever be a widgets company.

20 years ago, they were an overpriced-computer vendor on their deathbed, with not a widget in sight, burdened with a trailing-edge OS, while Microsoft was an unstoppable behemoth that was eating the world (While convinced that this internet thing was just a fad.)

You have no idea what they will be 20 years from now.
