Apple has really changed. The Apple retail store that Steve Jobs often visited during his lifetime has now switched to selling shoes.

As an important means for Apple to maintain and develop its customer base, there are more than 500 Apple retail stores around the world. Of course, there are many privately established or even imitated Apple retail stores in my country. It has to be said that a large number of Apple stores have made huge contributions to the development of Apple. At least in my country, if there were not so many Apple stores, Apple would not have the status it has today.

Many people miss the Apple of a few years ago, but Apple has really changed, because even the Apple Experience Store that Jobs often visited during his lifetime has now been converted into a shoe store that sells shoes. This Apple retail store is located in Palo Alto, California, which belongs to Santa Clara County, the same county as Cupertino, where Apple's headquarters is located, and is located in the core area of ​​Silicon Valley.

Speaking of Apple, everyone should know Steve Jobs, the man who changed modern communications, entertainment and our lifestyle. Even Lei Jun, the chairman of Xiaomi, which is now very popular in Asia, is just called "Lei Jun". It can be seen that Steve Jobs is almost a god-like man in the field of mobile communications.

However, the founder and CEO who brought Apple to the top died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 56. For many successful entrepreneurs, the 50s are the best period of life and career. For example, Jack Ma, 54 years old this year, is still busy attending various business events, meeting with leaders of various countries, occasionally singing and acting cute. Last year, he also made a movie "Kung Fu" which attracted widespread attention from people across the country. The ghost videos of Jack Ma on Bilibili also let people see his funny and humorous side.

Many people say that Apple has changed under Cook's leadership after Jobs' death. In fact, Cook's contribution to Apple is no less than Jobs'. If Jobs founded Apple, then Cook helped him preserve the achievements and further developed them.

Jobs was indeed very good and able to endure hardships. Even in the early days when things were so difficult that he could only work in the basement, he was able to turn the situation around and win. He was a person who was suitable for drastic reforms and innovations. In other words, he was a little radical. He was a genius, but geniuses are often too paranoid. Cook was able to make up for his weaknesses very well. He could go with the flow, but he was not conservative.

After four generations of Apple products, they have gradually been sought after by people all over the world. The iPhone 6 can almost be said to be the peak of Apple's product line, but Apple is really a bit different now.

Apple now seems to be becoming more and more unfamiliar. Perhaps it is because domestic mobile phones have developed too rapidly. Except for the system, there is not much difference between Apple and Android phones in other aspects. Of course, the price is still far beyond that of Android phones.
