'I softened it in the book a bit,' says 'Steve Jobs' author Walter Isaacson. 'I felt I would put in the specific things that were relevant to the reader but not the complaints.'
"I softened it in the book a bit. Sometimes I soften things that I thought were too harsh," Isaacson told CNBC. "In my book, Steve says how Tim Cook can do everything, and then he looked at me and said, 'Tim's not a product person.'"Isaacson said that Jobs in interviews for the book went further than that. "Sometimes Steve, when he was in pain and it was problematic and he, he was angry, he would say more things than [Cook] was not a product person.
"Every day when Jobs was in the office in Cupertino, he would go at midday to that sort of big locked door that went to the design studio; be brought in and everybody else would be ushered out. And he would talk table to table with Jony. They would feel not just the phone but the plug. The jack, the way the wire coiled. Jobs at his core was a product person," Isaacson said.
