Apple co-founder Steve Jobs dies

The company has announced that Steve Jobs, the former chief executive and co-founder of the US technology giant Apple, has passed away at the age of 56.

“Steve’s passion, energy, and brilliance were the foundation of numerous innovations that enhance and enrich our lives. The world has become immeasurably better thanks to Steve,” stated Apple.

In 2004, Jobs revealed that he was battling pancreatic cancer.

Bill Gates, the head of Microsoft, remarked that Jobs’ “profound impact” would “be felt for many generations to come.”

Mr. Gates further expressed: “It has been an insanely great honor for those of us fortunate enough to have worked with him. I will miss Steve immensely.”

US President Barack Obama also expressed his condolences: “Michelle and I are deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Steve Jobs. He was one of the greatest American innovators – courageous enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to achieve it.”

Additionally, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg stated that “America lost a genius who will be remembered alongside Edison and Einstein, whose ideas will influence the world for generations ahead.”
