Apple dedicated its homepage to its founder with this image within minutes of announcing Steve Jobs' death.
Apple visionary, co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs has died. He was 56. He had been battling pancreatic cancer for years.
Jobs, known for his signature black turtleneck, stepped down as CEO about a month ago. He had founded the company when he was 21.
Jobs had a knack of revolutionizing industries and inventing products that the world didn’t realize it needed — but quickly come to depend.
Apple launched the Macintosh computer in 1984 under Jobs’ leadership.
However, in 1986, he left the company in a power struggle.
Ten years later, he returned and helped transform the then-struggling technology company into the giant it is today.
At the time of his departure, he wrote: “I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.”
However, he remained Chairman of the Board of the company, as well as director and a beloved Apple employee.
He recommended Tim Cook, who was formerly the company’s COO, take his place. Cook gave his first keynote speech in the position a day before Jobs’ death when the new iPhone 4S was annnounced.
Apple’s board of directors has just put out a statement on the passing of its great visionary and former CEO, Steve Jobs:
We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today.
Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.
His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts.
Within minutes of the news, Apple dedicated its homepage to Jobs, who was born in 1955, with the following statement:
Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.

It was a longtime coming, but the release of the next generation of the iPhone is finally imminent. With cameras trained on one of Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California, the iPhone 4S was unveiled after nearly a year of anticipation by fans and professionals alike. With a similar look and feel to the iPhone 4, the magic of this phone is found on the inside with new features and specs that have resulted in record breaking pre-sales. Here is a quick glimpse at why nearly 1 million people have already ordered this phone and what is in store for them.
The while the iPhone 4S was thought to be called the iPhone 5, there is still one very important ’5′ inside of this device, the A5 processor. Pulled out of its sister technology, the iPad 2, the A5 is a dual-core processor will push speeds that are nearly twice as fast as the iPhone 4. Deemed a SoC, or sytem-on-a-chip, the A5 dramatically speeds up the iPhone 4S for nearly all of its uses. Carrying out multiple tasks, such as surfing the internet while streaming music, no longer lags the iPhone down to a choppy standstill.
