Apple CEO Tim Cook has paid tribute to Steve Jobs, marking 14 years since the Apple co-founder’s passing on October 5, 2011. Jobs, who died of pancreatic cancer at the age of 56, left behind a legacy that continues to define not just Apple, but the modern tech industry itself.
In a heartfelt post on X (formerly Twitter), Cook wrote:
“Steve saw the future as a bright and boundless place, lit the path forward, and inspired us to follow. We miss you, my friend.”
Thousands of other messages were shared on X by fans and Apple loyalists who shared their favourite Jobs quotes on creativity, design, and innovation, while others recalled Apple’s simple black-and-white homepage tribute from 2011 — a moment that symbolised both loss and gratitude.
Apple’s own Remembrance Page continues to honour Jobs, describing his “spirit of innovation and humanity” as the foundation on which the company still stands. Fourteen years later, that influence can still be felt — from Apple’s minimalist product design to its philosophy of merging technology with emotion.
Jobs passed away just one day after the unveiling of the iPhone 4S, the first device to feature Siri, a product that hinted at the AI-driven world we now live in. For many, the date serves as a reminder that the man who once said “the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do” truly did.
