Who is Steve Jobs? A brief biography of the man who changed the world. Steve Paul Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011) was an American inventor and entrepreneur of Syrian descent. He is considered one of the most prominent figures in the world of technology. He is the co-founder, former CEO, and later Chairman of Apple. He also served as CEO of Pixar and was a member of the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company after the latter acquired Pixar. Jobs is known for his pivotal role in developing revolutionary products that changed the face of modern technology, most notably the Macintosh, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, which contributed to establishing Apple's position as one of the largest technology companies in the world.

Steve Jobs's childhood and early life Steve Jobs was raised by his adoptive family in an area that later became known as Silicon Valley, which is now the center of the American technology industry. This was after his parents abandoned him because he was born illegally to unmarried college students, Abdulfattah Al-Jandali and Joanne Schieble. They decided to put him up for adoption after the Schiebles refused to allow him to marry a non-Catholic man. He was adopted by a California couple, Paul and Clara Jobs, of Armenian-Polish descent. These circumstances had a profound impact on Steve's life, who always referred to Abdulfattah as his biological father without acknowledging him as his real father. Jobs then enrolled in school, where he studied during the school year and spent his summer vacation working.

Steve Jobs's ouster from Apple: A business drama In the mid-1980s, Steve Jobs was fired from Apple due to some disagreements that arose, as tensions within Apple reached their peak. This was due to the company's introduction of the Lisa as the first computer with a graphical user interface (GUI), followed by the launch of the Macintosh, which outsold it. However, despite the innovation, the devices did not achieve the desired commercial results. Although the commercial performance was not a disaster in itself, the real tension appeared when John Sculley, whom Jobs had personally chosen, decided to remove him from the Macintosh project due to the failure of the Lisa. Jobs rejected the decision and resorted to the board of directors, but the latter supported Sculley. This is how the historic separation occurred, and Steve decided to start from scratch again.

Founding of Next and Pixar and the beginning of a new chapter After Steve Jobs was fired from Apple, he decided to start over and founded Pixar in 1986, the company responsible for producing animated films.

Steve Jobs' return to Apple and the launch of the iPhone bonanza In 1997, Steve Jobs returned to Apple as CEO at a time when the company was experiencing major problems and going through extreme difficulties.

Steve Jobs's battle with illness and his silent passing In 2003, Steve Jobs was diagnosed with an endocrine tumor, a rare type of cancer considered less serious than the more common pancreatic cancer. Instead of undergoing immediate surgery, Jobs decided to try lifestyle modifications and adopt a special diet, which led to the surgery being postponed for nine months. This decision worried Apple's board of directors, who feared that news of the CEO's illness would negatively impact investor confidence. However, Jobs did not keep it secret for long, informing shareholders of the truth about his health condition and then, in 2004, underwent successful surgery to remove the tumor. In early 2009, many reports spread about Steve Jobs's deteriorating health after he lost weight, despite his claim that he was suffering from a hormonal imbalance. He later underwent a liver transplant. After an absence of nearly a year, Jobs returned to the spotlight by giving a speech at Apple's September 9, 2009, conference. In October 2011, he passed away.
