It has been five years since Tim Cook took the reins as Apple’s CEO after Steve Jobs stepped down, and we’re about see a new line of products launch at next week’s Apple event. So this week on Ctrl-Walt-Delete, Walt and Nilay review the past five years and discuss what has (or hasn’t) changed at Apple, including the products, sales, and the ever-expanding market.
