Today would have been the 69th birthday of Apple’s co-founder and iconic former CEO, Steve Jobs, born on February 24, 1955. Although he passed away in 2011 at the age of 56, Jobs’ impact on the technology landscape continues to be felt.
The Journey of Innovation: From Apple’s Inception to Global Tech Dominance
In 1976, Steve Jobs, alongside Steve Wozniak, founded Apple with a vision to revolutionize personal computing. The duo introduced the world to the first Apple computers, setting the stage for the Macintosh’s historic launch in 1984. Despite facing challenges and his eventual ousting from the company in 1985, Jobs’ influence persisted.
Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, bringing fresh ideas and a renewed focus. The acquisition of his company, NeXT, played a pivotal role in shaping the future of the Mac operating system. Collaborating with design maestro Jony Ive, Jobs propelled Apple to new heights, introducing iconic products like the iPod and, notably, the groundbreaking iPhone.
