If Steve Jobs were alive today, he would be 67 years old. The co-founder and former CEO of Apple, Jobs, died of cancer in 2011. He was just 56 years old.
The launch of the first Apple computer in 1976 is considered to be the beginning of Apple's change in the world. In 1976, Jobs founded and ran the company with Steve Wozniak, but left in 1985 to found NeXT. After Apple acquired NeXT in 1997, Jobs rejoined the company and remained CEO until his death in 2011.
Jobs oversaw the launch of multiple product launches that propelled Apple to become one of the biggest tech companies in the world. Apple became a global hit after the launch of the iPhone in 2007, driven initially by the Mac and iPod. The culture of innovation led by Jobs is what the company continues to operate under today.
Tim Cook became CEO after he died. Cook has said that the foundation of Apple is Jobs' thinking, dedication to hard work, and lust for innovation.
MacRumors is 22 years old today. Three years after Jobs returned to Apple, Arnold Kim founded the site. MacRumors started out as a side project to become the number one Apple news site on the internet.
