I think as long as they have Jony Ives, their prolific designer, they will still be a formidable market presence.
He is, after all, the one who basically pulled the company out of the shitter by their bootstraps with the advent of the first iMac. He is also the one that proposed that they machine all their computer and phone frames starting with a solid piece of metal and using a subtractive process, rather than additive.
Jobs, however, was the fire. Without him, these last burning embers will die away eventually. Its interesting because if you really look at Steve Jobs, the main resource he brought was Alpha-as-fuck leadership. He wasn't a particularly gifted designer, and he never wrote a line of code in his life. He was not a technician in any sense of the word. He was just a fiery man who wanted to win above all and knew how to motivate the right people.
