Steve Jobs was an American entrepreneur and inventor best known as the cofounder and long‑time leader of Apple Inc., where he helped pioneer the personal computer and later products like the iPod, iPhone, and iPad.wikipedia+2
He was born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, California, was adopted shortly after birth, and grew up in the Bay Area, where he developed an early interest in electronics. In 1976, he founded Apple with Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne, and the company’s early machines such as the Apple II and the Macintosh helped launch the personal computer revolution.
After being forced out of Apple in 1985, he started NeXT and bought what became Pixar Animation Studios, which produced the first fully computer‑animated feature film, “Toy Story.” He returned as Apple’s CEO in 1997, led its turnaround and the creation of devices like the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, and became a central figure in shaping modern consumer technology.
Jobs died of complications related to pancreatic cancer on October 5, 2011, in Palo Alto, California, but remains widely regarded as a visionary who transformed multiple industries, from computing to music, phones, and digital media.britannica+5
