Anyone who knows anything about Tim Cook knows he's about as close to a replication of Steve Jobs as you could hope for, he's probably the best person that Apple could hope for to have at the helm in the absence of Steve Jobs being there.
I actually think the refresh will be a good thing for Apple, as Apple does have quite a roadmap based on it's existing products. The main thing Steve Jobs did in his most recent stint at Apple since the NeXT merger was to develop a company philosophy and maturity that had been lacking, even before Jobs was ousted.
Nobody can stay at a company forever, people do get sick , people do die, however the past 12 years or so Apple has worked very hard to build the foundations of what will be medium term success in the future. The only risk I see is that the board fuck up and oust Tim at some time in the future - which I don't see happening anytime soon.
