Jobs, who passed away in 2011 after battling pancreatic cancer , co-founded Apple in 1976 with Steve Wozniak . Under his leadership, Apple introduced revolutionary products such as the iPhone , iPad , and Mac , transforming multiple industries and changing how people communicate, work, and entertain themselves.

Known for his emphasis on design and user experience, Jobs played a crucial role in simplifying technology and making it more accessible to users. His vision helped Apple recover from near-collapse and become one of the world's most valuable companies.
