The world's most powerful personal device.
STEVE JOBS. A TRIBUTE PAGE.
Steve Jobs, in full Steven Paul Jobs, (born February 24, 1955, San Francisco, California, U.S.—died October 5, 2011, Palo Alto, California), cofounder of Apple Computer, Inc. (now Apple Inc.), and a charismatic pioneer of the personal computer era.
Jobs was raised by adoptive parents in Cupertino, California, located in what is now known as Silicon Valley. Though he was interested in engineering, his passions of youth varied. He dropped out of Reed College, in Portland, Oregon, took a job at Atari Corporation as a video game designer in early 1974, and saved enough money for a pilgrimage to India to experience Buddhism.
In 2001 Jobs started reinventing Apple for the 21st century. That was the year that Apple introduced iTunes, a computer program for playing music and for converting music to the compact MP3 digital format commonly used in computers and other digital devices. Later the same year, Apple began selling the iPod, a portable MP3 player, which quickly became the market leader.
Jobs was adopted, and his biological father, Abdulfattah Jandali, was a Syrian immigrant.
Jobs came from a working-class background and dropped out of Reed College after just six months.
The original Apple I computer was priced at $666.66. There was no devil worshipping going on.
A decade before he met his wife, Laurene Powell, Jobs dated folk singer Joan Baez in 1982.
He spent seven months traveling around India, experimenting with psychedelic drugs, adopting the practices of Zen Buddhism.
His last words on his deathbed were, "Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow," while gazing over his family's shoulders.
With business booming more than ever, it is no wonder that Apple was hiring over 140,000 people in 2020.
The revenue generated by Apple is more than the GDP Ecuador, Libya, Iraq & many other countries.
Apple Sold 849,450 iPhones per day in 2018. Apple was selling its smartphones like hot cakes.
The first Apple logo, drawn by Ronald Wayne (the third co-founder of the brand), depicted Isaac Newton under an apple tree.
Every Apple iPhone ad displays the time as 9:41 AM, the time Steve Jobs unveiled it in 2007.
When it comes to brand perception, people tend to consider Apple’s tech as the most sophisticated in the market.

Steve Jobs became a millionaire at the age of 25.
Apparently, Jobs wasn’t happy with the calculator app on the iPad even weeks before its release in 2010. Jobs told developers to either create an app that looked good, or ship the iPad without a calculator app, and due to lack of time, the developers settled for the latter. The iPad has not had a calculator app ever since.
Interestingly, Samsung makes the retina displays and OLED displays that are used in Apple devices.
Unfortunately, no. Siri was actually planned to be released even on Android and Blackberry, only before Apple bought Siri Inc. in 2010.
Apple is known for their loyal fan base that truly loved their products. Including apple stickers in the box is their way of strenghthening it. Those stickers are also used for marketing and brand identity.
