Apple Posts Steve Jobs Tribute: “His Spirit Will Forever Be The Foundation Of Apple”

Tribute to Steve Jobs

Apple marked the anniversary of Steve Jobs death with a tribute on its home page today, the kind of tribute that only Apple could do.

The short film shows some of the best-known photos of Jobs doing what he did best, accompanied by some quotes and clips from some of his finest moments.

There’s humor in it too, like the moment Steve ordered 4,000 lattes to go, live on stage. It’s great to see Apple remembering Jobs with a smile.

The video ends with this message from CEO Tim Cook:

Steve’s passing one year ago today was a sad and difficult time for all of us. I hope that today everyone will reflect on his extraordinary life and in many ways he made the world a better place.

One of the greatest gifts Steve gave to the world is Apple. No company has ever inspired such creativity, or set such high standards for itself. Our values originated from Steve and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. We share the great privilege and responsibility of carrying his legacy into the future.

I’m incredibly proud of the work we are doing delivering products that our customers love and dreaming of new ones that will delight them down the road. It’s a wonderful tribute to Steve’s memory and everything he stood for.

Tim
