He's describing, at most, a two month stretch of time. Your response is entirely true, of course, but you're not speaking in the same scope. I think all John is saying here is that it's not going to collapse before our eyes, and that established teams, corporate cultures, and philosophies take time to erode.
I know my first comment got down voted but perhaps it was because I didn't provide enough details?
Apple will continue being Apple - that is they won't change names, they'll continue innovating and creating amazing products. But to say they'll be the same Apple with and without Steve Jobs is silly and belittles the importance of having Steve in the company in the first place. There's no doubt that the path of Apple will be different.

The thing to keep in mind is this: Apple tomorrow, a week from now, and next month is the exact same Apple from yesterday, a week ago, and last month.
Don't know about that. Apple, like all hi-tech companies, is constantly changing, adapting, finding new ways, dealing with change, innovation, etc.

"Technology is not changing [life] much — if at all." ~ Steve Jobs
Apple will still be Apple. Apple will: Stay hungry. Stay foolish.
And Apple will: Think different.
The one real change? No more Jobs' keynotes. I'm sad.
I thought the same thing - that'd be called denial.
