iOS Boss Next in Line for CEO Position at Apple?

Adam Lashinsky, Senior Editor at Fortune, has a new Apple tell all book in the works entitled “Inside Apple: How America’s Most Admired–and Secretive–Company Really Works.” In the book, Lashinsky names Scott Forstall as Apple’s CEO-in-waiting.

Who is Scott Forstall? First and foremost, he’s Apple’s senior vice president of iOS Software. He’s also the man responsible for the original architecture of the OS X operating system and its aqua interface, a Stanford graduate, and as the head of mobile software, he’s the guy who brings in almost 70% of Apple’s income.

Because he’s responsible for such a large chunk of change, and because he’s so young, he’s believed to be current CEO Tim Cook’s future replacement once Cook retires.

An excerpt from the book on Forstall from one of its sources:

“He’s a sharp, down-to-earth, and talented engineer, and a more-than-decent presenter. He’s the total package.”

Forstall’s main fault, according to Lashinsky, is his obvious ambition. “If there’s a knock on Forestall,” Lashinsky writes, “it’s that he wears his ambition in plainer view than the typical Apple executive. He blatantly accumulated influence in recent years, including, it is whispered, when Jobs was on medical leave.

The book, with information on future CEO Scott Forstall, current CEO Tim Cook, former CEO Steve Jobs, and design guru Jonathan Ive, was not sanctioned by Apple. Lashinsky did not have access to Apple executives like Walter Isaacson did for Jobs’ biography.

Instead, Lashinsky is relying on his connections in the tech world plus interviews with Apple insiders, former employees, and competitors, which is sure to produce some juicy and controversial Apple gossip.

Lashinskys book, “Inside Apple: How America’s Most Admired–and Secretive–Company Really Works, “ is scheduled for release on January 25th, and will cost $16.92 for the hardcover version and $12.99 for the Kindle version. It can be pre-ordered on Amazon.com.
