Remembering Steve Jobs

Sunday October 5, 2025 7:22 am PDT by Joe Rossignol

Today marks the 14th anniversary of Steve Jobs passing away, at the age of 56. He died just one day after Apple unveiled the iPhone 4S and Siri.

Remembering Steve Jobs
Apple CEO Tim Cook has once again paid tribute to Jobs.

"Steve saw the future as a bright and boundless place, lit the path forward, and inspired us to follow," said Cook, in a post today. "We miss you, my friend."

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

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

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, photos, 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.

Steve, Timmy made iOS so bad now that I am switching to Android.

You guys used to make iPhone so impressive that I felt addictive to it. Now Timmy has worked hard on making users hard to leave rather than tempt them to stay.

Steve would be proud of the Apple Silicon chips, but disappointed in today's software (OS) quality.

This reminded me to re-watch his Stanford commencement address.

It’s an all-time great speech that should be required viewing for students of business / entrepreneurship, communications, branding, etc, and anyone who appreciates world-class oratory skills.

I’m sure Steve Jobs may look at Apple today and have some disappointments but overall he would be impressed that Apple is a 3.2 trillion dollar company today

The reason Jobs was so impactful wasn’t because he was doing it for the money, he did it because he wanted to bring computing to everyone.

It’s funny how every Apple thread like this turns into Steve Jobs would’ve never let this happen, or Apple died with Steve Jobs. Look, no doubt Steve was a genius and set the bar for product vision and design. But Apple’s strength was never just one man. Jobs himself famously said, “I hire people smarter than me so they can tell me what to do.” Tim Cook was handpicked by Steve, not by accident, but because he knew Apple needed operational excellence to scale the kind of innovation he started. And guess what? Under Cook, Apple became a multi-trillion-dollar company that now builds its own chips and redefined wearables while still making massive impacts in the iPhone category.

So yeah, Steve made an impact but pretending Apple’s a mess now because he’s gone is like saying Disney stopped being creative after Walt died. The founder laid the blueprint the company built the empire.
