Remembering Steve Jobs

Saturday marked the 13th anniversary of Steve Jobs passing away at the age of 56, following a lengthy battle with pancreatic cancer. He died just one day after Apple's former marketing chief Phil Schiller unveiled the iPhone 4S and Siri.

Apple CEO Tim Cook once again paid tribute to Jobs on the day.

"Steve showed us that the future isn't something you wait for—it's something you build," said Cook, in a social media post on Saturday. "His memory lives on in the hearts of innovators and dreamers everywhere—at Apple and beyond."

Cook also reflected on Jobs while opening Apple's first-ever event at Steve Jobs Theater in September 2017.

"There is not a day that goes by that we don't think about him," said Cook.


At that event, Apple unveiled the iPhone X, which was a major update to the smartphone that Jobs had famously unveiled in 2007.

The Steve Jobs Archive website contains a collection of quotes, videos, and emails from Jobs, and offers fellowships to young creators to follow in his footsteps. In addition, Apple still has a "Remembering Steve" page on its website with condolences shared by customers around the world following his death in 2011.

I will never forgot how stoic Phil was in presenting the 4S. The next day I found out why. 4S = for Steve. Too young.
I wonder what would be different at Apple today if he had made it longer? Miss him.

I really miss Steve. It’s not the same Apple as it was under his leadership. He was never afraid to try new things and think outside the box.

Apple today would rather play it safe and only cares about their shareholders. It’s become rather boring and the software needs some TLC.

If Steve showed Tim that you can’t wait for the future but that it has to be built, either Steve was a very poor teacher or Tim was a very poor student.

Tim Apple is a first class Ops guy, there is no doubt about it. Outside of his supply chain work and Apple's profits, which I understand are important, he was a very poor replacement for Steve Jobs. I have to wonder if Steve was all there when he made this decision. He knew full well that Cook wasn't and isn't passionate about design, innovation, or customer experience. I'm a shareholder and I probably own more shares than most, but I would still like to see someone more like Steve running Apple. R.I.P. Steve Jobs.
