As you may have heard the official Steve Jobs biography is out. It is going to be an amazing book that gives a huge amount of insight into the man behind the Apple. The Steve Jobs biography is already available on the Kindle and in the iBook store.
Ive embedded the 60 minutes interview with Walter Isaacson, the authorized biographer of Apple founder and CEO Steve Jobs.
It seems as though Steve Jobs’ last project was the iPhone 5. An inside source has been disclosing the details and it all seems understandable.
The iPhone 4S was not a major rework of the iPhone, it was just a tech spec upgrade. Jobs was working on the iPhone 5 which we will probably see at Apple’s next Developer conference.

This is the big news day of the year. Steve Jobs has resigned as CEO of Apple. Apple is the world largest public company. Steve has handed over the chief executive job to Apple COO Tim Cook.
This news has been coming for a while, as Steve Jobs has been struggling a lot over the last few years with his declining health. Now he has made the very tough decision to step aside and let someone take over the huge responsibility that is the CEO of Apple.
On his resign, Steve Jobs sent the following letter to the Apple Board of Directors.
To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:
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.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
