*Do you think the pace of innovation at Apple has changed since the passing of Steve Jobs?*

Steve Jobs is a Legend , none can replace him , he is the most influential person in 21st century , everyone used his ideas .
Since Jobs died, Apple has lost its spark, that's for sure. They're more about keeping "market share" than changing the world.
@@JeffreyBue_imtxsmoke I do agree with you mate
If Steve Jobs would have lived longer, Apple would have grown to become the 'Tech-Monopoly' of the world.
But that's how it is.... One cannot change what had happened, can only move forward.
Yes because the new and old got inspired by him.....
@@JeffreyBue_imtxsmoke What market share are you referring to? Macs are less than 10% of PC sales. iOS devices are outsold by Android devices. Apple TV+ is tiny compared to Netflix and Disney+ and Apple Music is nowhere near as prolific as Spotify. Market share is not Apple's ultimate goal. At all.
Steve Jobs' lived in 21st century for just 11 years but influenced the most , Everyone has a smartphone now and Pixar is the most successful animation studio in the world.
It's not just the 11 years the matter in which he made his legacy but the years before that which has helped to create those 11 years
No he just sold other peoples ideas. Don’t look up to him an a hero. He’s the villain.
@@scaredfolks5923 he managed to see the creativity in people, while he didn’t do all the inventing himself. Without him the people who did would most likely not have made what they did
@@scaredfolks5923 that's Elon Musk
@@teddydigno4620 czcams.com/video/7p-tvud7owQ/video.html here is an advice from Steve Jobs , You will look like to him after this video
"When he died , Apple was the most valuable company and Pixar was the most successful animation studio in the world"
He reached the top and died there .
Sad and inspiring 😭
What a success story.
💜
For those who understand it, daily life will turn upside down: The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 💖
that is not true, Tim has done much better
A lot of Steve's difficult personality was because he was not understood and was unable to communicate his pains. It does not take away from the fact that people found him lashing out, it was because of his expectations of others being similar to his expectations of himself.
Steve's personality was not more difficult than many others CEOs or leaders. He was requiring perfectionism from everybody around him, sometimes he was very demanding about himself. And he fired people left and right not necessarily because they were not living up to his expectation but also to instill fears in his employees. But then again, he was not worse than many other directors.
His merit is in choosing the right strategy for success, in seeing what might be a flop and what might be successfull
Or, he was just simply an asshole. Seems like a more simple answer.
Not nearly as complicated as your making it out to be.
Being an asshole was who he was. It’s not a byproduct of anything. Michael Jordan was the same way but the masses give them a pass because they were winners at what they did.
@@beldiman5870 "Steve Job's personality was not more difficult than many other CEOs or leaders" Thanks for the lol 😅 You need to learn more about the guy and not just his role w/ Apple. Jobs was a total a-hole
@@zerocal76 Yes, you are right, he was an a-hole but then again not different than many others CEOs. If you are not an a-hole , you don't get to be a CEO
He was neither a scientist nor an engineer but a great visionary. He is irreplaceable and will be forever.
They say you die twice. Once when they bury you, and once when the last person speaks your name. Steve Jobs will never be truly dead.
Steve Jobs will always be a talking point, especially in the topic of Apple Computer.
2nd death has spiritual meaning
@@Lighthousepreserve Oh. Sorry, English isn't my first language, so I tend not to understand these things. Good to know this though, thanks!
Interesting. There are 2 other Californians who are still alive- Musk (sort of Californian) and Jerry Garcia (VERY Californian)
In like 3 million years no one is gonna be talking about Steve.
Gave me goosebumps when seeing him present the iPhone. Not because of the iPhone but because of the affirmation of the audience. When put into context, it is probably not about technology but about an intelligent spiritual person sense of belonging.
Thing about Steve was he lived at several intersections:
a. Vision and foresight
b. Technology
c. The arts and creativity
Steve also had a dark side: he could see the future and wanted everyone else that worked for and around him to see it, and accelerate the creation of it, and thus was a mean man at work, always criticizing and literally psychologically damaging those that worked for him. Steve demanded complete loyalty, 100 💯 percent of people’s time, perfection…he created a “reality distortion field” which destroyed people beneath him, ruined their marriages, broke their spirits, blasted their careers etc. People respected his genius, however absolutely despised the man.
Yes, he changed the world, however in so doing he broke the spirits and backs of his most loyal friends and employes.
A side note: he dropped a great of LSD and attributes it to his ability to see into the future, and uniquely pace a technological road to get there. He personally interviewed everyone from associate level and up (associate, manager, director, voice etc) and at the associate/manger level he often would say he would prefer to hire those who had taken LSD.
JFK Jr: I would rather be a good man, than a great man if I had to choose.
Steve Jobs was not a good man, but he was a great genius.
Personally, the handheld devices, computers, software, and subsequent products and services that run on and through them connecting the world, those would have been created and extended globally…Steve wanted to accelerate the process…on the backs of dead bodies
@@Williamb612 That was interesting to hear. I’ve heard that side of him and I don’t doubt it is true. I think that is kinda what I feel is so strong about his character. He was probably horrible in the way you present but that in the end I think it was his way of getting acceptance. But yeah! Good to not glorify people that are bad and I totally see your point there.
IT WAS EXCITING ‼️🇺🇲📱
It's a phone, and a good one, no sense of belonging needed.
wut?
His deranged ego made him believe that he could control the tumor in his pancreas. It was his total lack of humility that killed him. SUPER important lesson for all of us.
that fruitarian diet will kill you pretty quickly.
Another SUPER important lesson is not to over use SUPER. BTW did you ever see the operation that they proposed to Jobs? You would probably also say no to it.
Yes, that's for sure, you need to find the strength to fight
Nobody ever did anything great by running with the herd. It's easy to poke a stick at people from the safety of your mediocrity - ESPECIALLY dead people.
@Karl with a K Steve was brilliant and lit up the room when he walked into it. He made people do their best work all the time. (And I met him once and spoke with him for 5 minutes) Sure he had issues, like you and I don't.
I did not know a lot of the specifics of his life. This brings him down from being an icon, to a person, like someone we have all known. Very well made and clear portrait of this person of extraordinary abilities and weaknesses. RIP, Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs........The man who changed the world with his vision and ideas . He was Former CEO of Apple , chairman and CEO of NeXT , chairman and CEO of Pixar and disney's largest shareholder and a board member . He changed the world with products like the Apple][ , Macintosh , iMac , iPod , iTunes , Apple Stores , iPhone , iPad and with Apple itself .
At the time of his death :
•Apple was the most valuable comapny in the world
•Pixar was the most successful animation studio in the world
•Became Disney's largest shareholder and a board member.
•Got Oscar for his pixar movies and even his biopic "Steve Jobs" movie was nominated for an oscar.
•There are over 20+ Movies , Official Documentaries , Books and TV shows about him.
•Became the first person in the world to start 3 companies with over 1 billion dollar valuation(Apple , NeXT , Pixar)
•Lastly , He became a synonym of "Visionary".
I think Elon musk is coming for the start 3 companies space x Tesla neurolink boring company open ai starlink Steve was a once in a generation mind same like Elon
Elon Musk is better at executing visions, but Steve Jobs was much better at creating them. Elon wasn't the first to think of anything that he's doing, but he's great at making them happen all at the same time. Steve Jobs' mind is on a different level. He's a real innovator. Musk is the world's greatest executive who's much into scifi and making them real.
@@elvillivle both are great
@@elvillivle strange thing is , jobs never invented anything, he was great at repackaging existing tech in a shiny new exterior and selling it at a premium price, at most, he was a great salesman....that's all
@@nix123ism As a CEO of a company, I want to know what you think it takes to build, run, motivate, instill vision, conceptualize, streamline, recruit... Any person who thinks that Steve Jobs was just a sales person should get some leadership experience and deal with leading and developing people and ideas and then consider what you think Steve Jobs (or anyone else in those roles) is/was.
Money is not everything when it comes to wealth. The amount of free time you have. The health you have. The social life you have. A combination of all these makes you wealthy. Please remember that .
YES
I always do . If became the wealthiest man ever ,I still want my health ,loved ones with me .
Wow! True
You forgot the one of the most important things and
that is people that you love like your family and friends.
@@titaniumspecial4207 LOL
Can you imagine how blown away his biological family must have felt witnessing the baby they didn't want, take over the world.
Beautiful narration and very good use of images and videos as compared to other channels. Great work
He was a amazing person Jobs was the reason I worked for Apple for 12 years..I still have the crystal glass Apple Award and signed certificate to show I worked for Apple for a decade. I was lucky to meet Steve Jobs on my first week of training in cafe Mac..
how was it like working with him?
It was great until he passed away then Tim Cook took over and that's when the micro managing started..Then Apple was like working in a factory with no soul :(
@@djscratchdog But look how successful Apple is today!!
@@szvqorwnpstahskypfwmp9821 yes Apple is successfull and that is because factorys are about making money and not great products..Apple has not innovated since Jobs died Samsung,LG,google are all just as succefull..its just another money making machine that's why I left :(
@@djscratchdog so fake lmao
The fact that young Steve Jobs looks uncannily like Aston Kutcher is just astounding
If you say so! They have totally different faces.
Steve was more handsome than him
No, Kutcher looks like a job! A younger person looks like an old person!
Really? I just don’t see the similarities.
@@Miss_Sylvie Me either!
Of all the documentaries I've seen about Steve Jobs, this is by far the best and most touching I have seen. it has a certain warmth, glow and personal touch to it as though it was told by a close family member. I like!!!. Keep up the good work.
This is a very well rounded piece. Thank you @Newsthink
Really enjoying the excellent short biographies you've been doing
He was not perfect by any means but he rose through all his imperfection to be one of the most creative minds in the world. Like it or not, have to respect that level of determination he put in. Truly one of the greatest humans to ever grace this planet.
It is mind-boggling how can people adjust their views about a certain person, just so they can entirely dismiss the cons of that person for the sake of belonging. Stockholm syndrome is very common in such situations. Apple vs Android, Mac vs PC...
@@alanpotter8680 Apple fanboys thinks Jobs is a demigod. All he did was to design a few gadgets a few years before the competition.
A closed and locked ecosystem is something communists should embrace.
Elon Musk is a genious, Jobs was not.
so true
He was a seriously abusive person. He possibly had OCPD, a Personality Disorder.
@@alanpotter8680 Agreed. This incessant lauding of tech entrepreneurs is ridicuolous.
Very well-narrated video, Cindy!
I'm an Android man but I have to tip my hat to Steve's creativity and vision, seeing what others couldn't. Cheers Steve, RIP.
Find work that you love, it's as important as finding your significant other. From leaving your job to making these amazing documentaries you too have made a lot of progress Cindy.
Watched and liked, thanks! Love your videos, the research you put into them, and the high quality video/audio/editing work.
Jason you wear Sperry Topsider boat shoes ? Tell me about the stink if you do ?
You have an amazing channel! Can’t wait till it blow up!
Hy there
hi psych2go
It’s indeed amazing how one can produce something so riddled with errors and keep on doing it…
“For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: ‘If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?’ And whenever the answer has been ‘No’ for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.” - Steve Jobs
From his famous statement/words and beliefs, now you know why he died young.
I rarely watch videos this long. So that's saying this is a rare video. Another well done video. At no time was was my finger itching to tap on something else. Unfortunately these days our attention deficit is cured by just a tap of the finger. You have a rare talent. Thank you.
When 20min is considered long
LOL...then how do you sit in a traffic jam????
@@szvqorwnpstahskypfwmp9821 I DON'T get in traffic jams. Quit my job, sold house, car, gave away my tools (ouch!) strapped all I own on my bike and now it's just Me And My Royal Enfield "going down that Long Lonesome Highway"
@@MeAndMyRoyalEnfield Good luck with that seriously!!
I wonder often just how much more innovation there would of been because of him. Our devices upgrade consistently but they never really innovate anymore. Great video as always Cindy!
It's good to see a mini documentary that doesn't go overboard by gushing on Steve Jobs. I have to say it was nicely balanced and pretty inclusive despite its limited run time. I just subscribed to the channel and hopefully I can find some more good videos to watch.
The way to explain everything thing and strated the biography was marvelous !
His life story is fascinating.
not to me, sorry
@@clemclemson9259 cringe
I still get teary-eyed when I think about his passing. I was in California for my daughters wedding and we went shopping and at The Apple Store, there were sticky notes on the windows and flowers laid to rest in front of the Apple Store. I got emotional and again, teary-eyed. I still wonder where Apple would be today if he were alive and what he would have come up with. I realize he did not do it alone, yet in a way he was alone in his thoughts and his own world. I still get teary-eyed. I believe that everyone who was and has been affected by his aura are affected in their own personal way. It would be interesting to share our stories.
That's the gayest thing I've ever read.
That's bizarre you worship a man in this way. I feel sorry for your children, if you have any. They must feel extreme neglect as their father worships celebrities.
@Karl with a K his talent was yelling at smart people so they'd invent stuff for him.
@@karlwithak1835thats why Apple is still the most valuable company. And yes, mediocre people do not understand why is Apple still on top, how it manages to sell so much "crap" stuff for premium price. You will never understand Apple philosophy so keep buying Huawei and be happy 😊.
@@karlwithak1835 How many Apple products do/did you own? I guess you dont, otherwise you would understand that in computers its not all about specs. For example why has iphone better screen on time with lower battery capacity? Why are many professionals prefer Iphone video recording over Samsung (which is only good android phone atm)? I got friends who are living from videos (recording, editing) and all of them using Iphones. Why is that so? It only has 12MP camera versus 200MP on Xiaomi for example. They should use Xiaomi phones then. And ofc i wont even mention Apple's ecosystem. As i know only Huawei is close to built decent ecosystem, comparable to Apple's, but as far as i heard it has alot of problems still with continuity between devices (not as reliable). So yea since you only read marketing specs, its means you are the one who gets fooled.
This video definitely gives me goosebumps. His sayings are always the best!
"The only way to do great work is to love what you do."
And love the people around you...
I always understood him as Apple's visionary while Steve Wozniak was the brains. His life is very romanticized. But I think its important to understand he had lots of smart people to help his vision come to fruition. So what he did was in concert with those unsung heroes that help him.
Then this video says this and it makes sense. "He embraced eastern spirituality including the precept of intuition. When he traveled to the Indian countryside, he noticed that people didn't use their intellect like Americans did, but instead relied more on intuition.
He told biographer Isaacson: _'Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect, in my opinion. That's had a big impact on my work.'"_
In other words, he used his gut feelings and creativity to move the company forward with the help of intelligent engineers that made it possible while other companies relied on the bean counters and their numbers.
@Karl with a K I doubt I have. He was a creative visionary, but never saw a brilliant engineer in him.
He also succeeded in building his grub stake with illegal contraptions sold to college students, built mainly by Steve Wozniak. When Jobs achieved his Wonder Boy status, he parleyed his special tour of Xerox into stealing their intellectual property.
Steve Jobs was an egomaniac; he lacked both humility and compassion. I once worked at a place where he shopped, and where his wife sold some of her home-baked wares. No one there wanted to wait on him: no one! (I was lucky, and was spared.)
P.S. Lest one think that the employees were merely envious, know that this store drew a fair assortment of celebrities: actors, singers, athletes, politicians. Those who were courteous to the employees helping them were appreciated. Jobs was discourteous to all who assisted him.
@@karlwithak.U are excellent at criticizing great people for their work
Why have you used "intellect" & Americans in the same comment? The United States is simply a lassez faire version of the former British Empire. The problem is The Triad bringing down USA as we speak ;
1.) Giving minorities uncapped power.
2.) Putting pathetic old age men actors to stand in as President.
3.) Throwing too much money at Israel.
Boy! There's gonna be some angry Yanks talking to me here soon!
Wow, so well made! 19 minutes flew away like mere seconds had passed!!
not saying he didn't do anything, but he would't be anything without: Steve Wozniak, buying out smaller companies and copying or just bluntly stealing other smaller companies' ideas, and having his team work incredibly hard and under a lot of stress.
Wozniak should get the credit
This man savagely denied his daughter was his for years. It was very traumatic for her. I will never say a man was great that was behind the scenes a terrible father.
Interesting I didn't know that. He should have done a DNA test. He certainly had the money to do this.
@@Peekaboo-Kitty He KNEW the daughter was his was the point. It’s very sad. One of the last things he actually said when his daughter was sitting by him and he was dying was “You smell like a toilet.” Nobody is black and white.
Were you there when Jobs 'savagely denied this daughter for years?" Sounds very dramatic. I'm always suspect with what anyone says about what they hear.... Mostly because it's all gossip that someone makes up. Even if it's not bs, why say this?
@@csmith3699 It’s common knowledge that Jobs practically disowned that daughter. Even the quote I mentioned was on a daytime morning show where his daughter was talking about a book she wrote. You can stop your hero worship. The Ashton Kutcher biopic was mostly fanboy-ing and Wozniak agreed it was highly inaccurate. The acting was terrible in it too.
If your opinion about the relationship with his daughter is based on the movie you are doing him injustice. His daughter grew up wealthy in a mansion regardless, even if his parenting was not good it doesnt mean his legacy should be diminished.
your work is soooooo amazing, I enjoyed this small documentry very much 👍
Decades ago in Seattle I knew a guy who attended Reed College. When he came back for visits, he always had some tins of Altoids that were "curiously strong"... modified by the chemistry students at Reed of course.
Steve Job did to his daughter
what he thought was done
to him by his biological parents.
He atrociously denied her daughter -
Lisa, the fatherly responsibility and
moral obligation she deserves.
her daughter never deserved to be the
object of Job's revenge and parental angst.
With all his Buddhist spiritual influence,
Job is a SOB neglectful father!
Material success and personal fame
is never a determinant of one's
moral transcendence.
what did he did , i cant even understand u
@@weirdhuh8046 With all his career success his personal life suffered, so as his health; he didn't have time with anything else he was consumed by his drive to succeed. His financial success came with a great price his relationships and his life
@@sophiejones304 Yeah, it appeared that his wife moved on pretty quickly after he was gone. Changed their house almost immediately, changed her appearance within a couple of weeks, and began a new relationship in only a few months. One of his neighbors (who was also my ophthalmologist at the time) told me he was pretty mean to his wife and kids. So many things he wouldn’t allow her to do. I think she felt liberated once he was gone. I had seen them together in downtown Palo Alto, CA many times-she always looked unhappy, wearing no makeup and a tee shirt and jeans, her hair lifeless and dull, her boys VERY, VERY thin for someone who’d given birth to three children. Go figure.
@@weirdhuh8046 He denied that she was his child for fourteen years-until her mother took him to court for child support. The court ordered him to take a DNA test, which showed that he was absolutely the father, and then he was all, “we welcome her in to our family”, even though he had ignored her for so long. He enrolled her in Palo Alto High School, even though his other three children went to private schools🙄
Good Researching!! Im Glad i can watch a video to summarize a Whole Looooooong Book 👍
❤❤❤
Nice Documentary + great voice, Cindy
Oh man. Steve would have been an excellent answer to today's phone scammers. He would have thought of something brilliant that would somehow shut the scammers down worldwide.
RIP Steve. 🙏
U mean indians ?
This man was one of the largest scammers on earth, next to Bill Gates. He never invented anything his entire life and yet millions of unthinking people believe he created dozens of different computer systems and invented new technology.
His answer would be: They should only be allowed to use Apple devices so we (Apple) can control the scam. Jobs was a guy who stole or copied most of his ideas from creative people around him (or from somewhere in the world). He was just a good marketing guy. Nothing more, nothing less.
@@arnowinter462 that's what businessmen do bro
Actually Steve was one of the original “phone scammers”. He and Woz got their start making and selling illegal “Blueboxes” which could trick the telco switching equipment and allow the user to call long distance for free back in the days of coin operated pay phones. But he was scamming AT&T not the consumer.
Excellent , good narration with profound research 👍
I went to Homestead high school, both those guys were there also. I didn’t know them at the time, but wow it was a big surprise to find out I was so close to a few folks that would change the world.
I neither scrolled down to the comments section, nor did I shift my eyes to the other recommendations during these 19:38 minutes. This's the first time I was so much focused. Thanks @Newsthink
Then again, great content. You are such an inspiration
Great documentary! So well put together, and it puts to shame so many of the meager offerings that pass for documentaries on You Tube. Was it purely "magical thinking" that caused him to neglect surgery? I know Isaacson buys into the theory, but it might just have been an aversion to surgery. Jobs was smarter than most, so he knew the risks of surgery, and, as he said: “I didn't want my body to be opened...I didn't want to be violated in that way.” I share that view. Surgeons will sell you a bill of goods, and sometimes minimize the downsides of surgery, but if things do go wrong then you can be in a bunch of trouble, if not dead. Whilst there's something to the idea that Jobs seemed to think he could almost literally will the cancer out of his body, I've never thought that this was the whole story, or the complete explanation, of why he resisted going down the surgical route for so long.
A relative had surgery for bowel cancer and beat the cancer but a mistake by the surgeon led to my relative dying 2 years later.. not from the cancer but from surgical error.
Where's the part where you mention Steve's stupidity not getting the surgery lead to his early death?
@@GreenEnvy. Was it stupidity? I am not so sure, not really. Towards the end, Steve did express regret about delaying the surgery. He went at his illness by another route, choosing alternative therapies, which obviously didn't work. He didn't like the idea about having his body cut open, and I can fully sympathize with that. I'd think long and hard about having such extensive surgery. Steven wasn't stupid, he knew what the surgery entailed, I am sure, and he knew about the long-term survival rates post surgery. Steve Jobs was often said to be the smartest guy in the room, but even the smartest of us can be dumb about some things.
he actually found other ways to violate his body: drugs, LSD and other hallucinogenics, as well as weird dietary habits and lack of cleanliness.
Excellent video,thanks so much for your work.
I almost got tears in my eyes at 17:27. That quote is powerful.
I love your content and the way you present 💟
the real genius wasn't steve jobs it was wozniak. jobs was a dropout who was just a good salesman.
there are people with 150 iq but they aint crap.
I read the new book called Make Something Wonderful, which is rather just a compilation of the things he had to say and emails he wrote, and you have done a great job narrating out this even before it was release, 10/10 video.
Wow!!! That’s a wonderful summarized speech of Steve Jobs’ life. What an amazing short life he had lead. I really wished he had taken his health more seriously, especially at the early stage when the tumor was discovered. May be he’d be still alive today. Nonetheless, he died as a fulfilled icon. Love you Steve’ Jobs: the G.O.A.T!!!
I'm no so sure he died fulfilled. The truly important things in life seemed to escape him
@@tlc6756 Narcissists like Steve are not wired to know the truly important things in life. Look how he treated his daughter.
Amazing work Cindy pom.
This is one hell of a documentary.
Steve Jobs elected not to have surgery because he was going by his intuition rather than logic. His Eastern religious experience led to his early death.
Because there he learned, incorrectly, that “intuition was more important than logic” his own quote.
@@random-thing1 He was not alone in creating the computer. I think creativity and intuition are two different but related things. Steve had a great mind and great insight that’s for sure.
@@random-thing1 Intuition can be useful as a starting point, but ultimately logic triumphs. True logical thinking is more dependable than intuition
11:12 - "If something isn't right, you can't just ignore it and say you'll fix it later, that's what other companies do"
-Steve Jobs
Ironically that is exactly what he did with his own health.
2009-2021 January 24 ?
I remember a colleague who was into technology remarked that whenever his Mac device gave out he would disassemble it because he was fascinated by how aesthetically pleasing the components looked like from the inside. This always puzzled me, but knowing that he did acid brings clarity
it's true though, if you ever have the opportunity to disassemble an apple device they are SUPER satisfying to open up and tear apart
I was in final year of my college in India, returning back home on that day, I heard this news of Steve Jobs passing away. Shocked !!!
Well. I wasn't shocked because Steve actually announced that he was dying from
pancreatic cancer and the whole world knew about it. It was just a matter of time
that day would come. R.I.P Steve!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING US 💙🌎
Excellent Narrator - Clear, distinct and interestingly informative!! Vernon Cornelius, Singapore
An excellent review of Jobs' life and achievements ... but why so much attention to his end of life health and the choices he made. His brilliance did NOT kill him. That horrible headline nearly robbed me of the opportunity to watch this splendid film. I nearly clicked past. He was not afraid of death ... he understood it as part of our ongoing journey. 🙏
Yet nobody mention how both Jobs and Gates's product development went between each other and them selves.
Somebody comes up with something, Jobs copies it, Gates copies it, Jobs calls Gates out on it and Gates says "I know where you stole it from so shut up and I'll shut up".
Same with the mouse, Gates stole it form someone, Jobs stole it from Gates and Jobs told him the same "Shut up and I'll shut up".
The apps, the idea of the iphone. Already existed, but the original inventors didn't know how to market it properly and it didn't become a hit. Jobs took the exact same thing and it became a hit.
The mouse and visual design. Jobs took it straight from another company he visited who only used it in house for the workers. He told them basically "You're sitting on a gold mine, why aren't you selling it?" so he took it instead commercially to the public.
You have to look behind the scenes of the glamour to see the whole truth. Luck and a lot of stolen ideas put together.
The idea with the mouse and with graphical user interfaces were "borrowed" by both Apple and Microsoft from the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (Xerox PARC). See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PARC_(company)
@@EricMustardman no no no it was paid for via a deal that gave Xerox stock options. The story of theft is simply propogated by the uninformed "experts" like op here
His brilliance did not kill him. Refusing chemo and opting for homeopathic bs instead, is what killed him. For all our brilliance, we all have flaws.
this is one of the best videos I have just watched today... thanks for sharing :][][
Boy, this is a romanticized accounting of Apple and Steve Jobs. If you have a deeper understanding of the history of tech, you'll know that Apple didn't really come up with the iPhone all by itself.
The video also skips over the Microsoft handout to Apple to keep Job's company afloat due to Microsoft's concerns about monopoly laws.
It also downplays Jobs' role in downplaying Steve Wozniak's contribution to the early success of Apple and how Jobs essentially backstabbed his friend. Sheesh, was this piece funded by Apple or what?
I could go on but what's the point. Too many fanboys out there as it stands.
yeah i get the impression him wasn't a very nice person, ignoring his child and all that. he sold his sole to the devil, imo.
Yes. I think he single-handedly made the world a much worse place. A massive ego and a cruel and selfish person who took virtue signalling to another level.
Greed, narcissism and extreme capitalism posing as spirituality. Can anything be more ugly and hypocritical ? Invidious or insidious ? I can't decide.
You sound incredibly biased. Not really surprised considering how stupid your comment is.
Good on you for pointing out the reality. Unfortunately every year there are ever more young people who either want to ignore the real story or blissfully ignore what really happened whilst immersed in their new Apple shiny thing
@@basilbrush7878 Well, I can't blame people for thinking people like Gates and Jobs were computing gods and the whole reason why we have the advanced toys we have today.
The truth is often obscured by marketing. I may have a certain respect for Thomas Edison, for example, but you also have to face the fact that bastard fried a live elephant using DC power. (Different times, sure.. but really, was that even necessary?)
I have an innate disdain for authoritarians in general and psychopaths in particular. Many leaders in the business field are often both types. People seem to believe we need people like that to advance our culture and develop new technologies but that's not true at all.
If anything, Noam Chomsky kind of said it best when he alluded to all the pillaging of technology by these "leaders" by stealing those ideas from publicly funded research facilities. Steve Jobs' "original concept" of the GUI interface with a mouse was essentially taken from Zerox. Same goes for the iPod. A totally stolen concept from another man who wasn't financially compensated for it for decades afterwards.
Many times you can't know the source of a good idea because whoever came up with it can't afford to sue these rich cocksuckers. Therefore, history is always written by the victors.
This video is a masterpiece. Thank you for this
The patron saint of salesmen.
What an excellent narrator you are. Well done
Great work!
Lesson to be learned: sometimes you just cannot bend reality. Especially when it comes to your health. If Steve Jobs were more open-minded, he would've taken his health more seriously. He could've used his wealth to pay the world's best doctors. What good is all your wealth and money if you're dying? Jobs was arrogant. And he had to pay the price. It is sad.
Health is wealth!
he didn’t want the government to use him as a lab rat and implant a chip in him without knowing - the only reason an intelligent being would deny help
Woz: also the heart
EXCELLENT DOCUMENTARY ‼️ENJOYED🎯👍🇺🇲
The quote that He gave when He had to build his way up again after getting fired from the company he started is my favorite part of this video
14:47- "I couldn't speak, I literally couldn't. I was so exhausted. I couldn't speak to Laurene. All I could do was watch a half-hour of TV and vegetate"
- Steve Jobs
This is so relatable.
A great biography on triumphant and tragic life.
Steve Jobs is a person who's vision of what he wants to accomplish was motivated by a comprehension that, our time on earth is limited, especially towards the end of his life, before his illness. Only working for someone else will never bring out the diamond in the rough that we all are as a starting point, to be refined and shine. He was already there in this lifetime. Not all can be there in one lifetime but keep working at it and if not in this lifetime, then in another, but if you want to shine, you eventually will, only time separates you from achieving your goal as Steve Jobs shows has he did. May will all shine.
Brilliant. I loved hearing about the calligraphy.
Beautifully presented
It didn’t matter how brilliant Steve Job was I don’t like the fact that he abandoned his own child he had with his girlfriend.
He was a total narcissist and bully who exploited child slave labour and made the world a worse place to live whilst convincing himself and others that he was on a spiritual quest. His arrogance and self-deception killed him.
He is nothing to be admired.
He had a great mind indeed. Innovative, and aggressive. He may have lived longer, or even survived his illness, had he chosen a different medical treatment for his severe illness. RIP.
Or if he wasn't on a high carb fruitarian vegan diet which is known to cause pancreas problems
@@joebuslife9275 .....both Ray Manzarek and Farrah Fawcett opted for alternative treatment forms for their cancer types which didn't work either. I suppose at some point people will try anything but cancer is cruelly ruthless.
Thank you for outlining Steve’s life in a simplistic way. It was refreshing, compared to other documentaries l’ve viewed about him. A brilliant mind & a genius. Gone way too soon & forever remembered.
I’d love to see how Apple would have evolved if Steve was still with us?
RIP: Steve Jobs. You were an incredible human. Thank you for all you represented. 💔🌹🕊💫
This was great! By far the best bio of Steve Jobs I've seen.
There it is again "Steve Jobs" and "Brilliance" together in the same sentence. I keep reading about what a genius he was but I have watched many hours of him talking and I've never gotten the impression that he was a genius. He was a below average student. The people he worked with will tell you that he was ambitious, ruthless even, but they don't admire his intellect particularly. Its annoying because he has all these quotes like "Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower." No it doesn't. There are leaders who don't innovate and followers that do. His own employees were some of the most innovative people around. Then people will say "his genius was his vision" but I really believe that all of the important technological advances that happened while realizing his visions would have happened without him. Integrated circuit technology is just cool that way.
He was a business genius
@@agaga5886 that's where it gets murky. You can't argue with the success he achieved. His hard work,self promotion, and ruthlessness we're all exceptional. I just fail to see that, in addition to these qualities, he was also the smartest in the room. Maybe it's because the rooms he tended to be in we're full of such extraordinarily bright people.
He just had a vision, the real brilliance was Steve Wozniak and Jonathan Ive who did the creating.
Yeah, I agree with this completely. All he was really good at was marketing and building up hype around other people's ideas, while cultivating a public image of a reclusive and misunderstood intellectual with a plan for everything. He knew all it took was a few fancy buzzwords and big profits to be called a genius and innovator in a capitalist world and leaned into that identity completely. Combined with testimony from employees, colleagues and even family that he was a somewhat cruel and highly egotistical person, I never really had much respect for him and still don't.
You wouldn’t know who Steve Wozniak was if it weren’t for the generational brilliance of Steve Jobs. Any body can learn computer science, there is only one Steve Jobs. “Intuition is a very powerful thing, more powerful than intellect, in my opinion,”
this is one of the better biographies/documentaries of Steve Jobs
soooo great love the info😀
That part at the end about about "he tried to bend reality" is interesting. When my daughter was little, she broke a glass. When questioned about it, she said she didn't do it, even though everyone witnessed it. Turned out, she tried to "will it not to have happened".

My portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading,l just don't know what I do wrong
@Mary matia I strongly advise you against self trading, it's really dangerous and had brought so many investors down, you need someone with the knowledge and strategies, someone dedicated to the crypto currency market business, and I will strongly recommend expert, Mrs Charlotte
@@Aminat7141 Wow I'm just shock you mentioned and recommended Expert Mrs Charlotte I thought I'm the only trading with her
@@Thakur_1 You don't need to be shock because I'm also a huge beneficiary of expert Mrs Charlotte,
I stumbled upon one of her clients testimonies and decided to try her out...I'm Expecting my third cashout in 2days
I think all the credit is to be given to Wozniack
Thank you for sharing this fantastic story ❤️
3:24 You only quoted ‘If I had never dropped out…’ (etc.) but what you said was what he said, verbatim, in his Harvard commencement speech.
Saying Steve Jobs is a genius is way too generous. He was a person who stole credit from those around him. Most of the things he was credited for like the iPhone were truly achievements of Wozniak. As someone who knew multiple people who worked with him daily, he was an insanely awful person who stepped on everyone and did little to nothing but steal visibility.
Yes he was an excellent salesman, that's different than a genius
In my personal experience as a long-term Apple employee this is more “Cult of Saint Steve” bullshit… he was just a selfish bully who knifed anyone who didn’t agree with him.
He didn’t even design the excellent Apple products, Steve Wozniak (co-founder) did the first Macs then Sir Jony Ive took over.
Tim Cook is a perfect Steve clone (was Steve’s - literal - hatchet man, publicly and regularly humiliating & firing our respected senior managers), which is why Jobs named him as his successor.
Completely cold and ruthless tyrants, both of them, and the OPPOSITE of the outward-facing personas invented by Apple’s incredibly FSB-like PR professionals , Putin looks like an amateur by comparison.
What did he see as he was passing? The " Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh Wow." It just makes me wonder what he saw.
Honest question: is it said in the biography that the origin of Apple's name is the one mentioned in this video? Acid trip at a farm? I've read that biography and honestly I don't remember that
Think I didn't too. But heard somewhere, when he got to India, and one of the meals as a fruit he got is an Apple and putted it as a name. But for sure he got the company name from the Apple fruit.
The purpose that he lived for was something to be admired for. Most people would settle for a simpler ambition, but he reached higher.
Every human with an iphone is highly addicted to it, social media youtube everything! He created a monster!!! Were downloading our consciousness into these things!
And YET, there were reports that he didn’t allow his own children to even play video games!
Very touching respectful documentary thank you💙
Great interview. Innovative your way out of Apple’s problem over Cost cutting. That’ll stick with me for a long long time.
That hate he had for his real parents he never let it go and unfortunately it led to Cancer..Lesson in this all forgiving is the most powerful tool we humans can control,not having material wealth!!
Hate? They abandoned him, he didn’t ask to be born after their dirty deed. They should’ve been more responsible
@@fhd588 They didn't abandon him, they gave him up for adoption, and he did very well there.
@@joemarshall4226 But he didn't treat his daughters like a genuine father. Great at innovation though.
@@swallowedinthesea11 How do you know? and what is your definition of a "genuine" father?
A emotionally traumatic childhood leads to illness later in life. This is fact.
This inspired me and also made me cry. Thank you for making this video and thank you, Steve Jobs!
you cried? lol
@@sophiasilverson511 🤣 Yes, getting fired part
A couple important things that this documentary didn’t point out: the CEO of Apple that kicked out Jobs, was hired by him a few years earlier. Jobs had to convince him, he was president of Pepsi Cola at the time. Also, Apple didn’t just buy Next, that was a specific request from Jobs as a conditio sine qua non for his return to Apple. He knew that Next had no future without him and didn’t want to leave all those people behind. As Steve Jobs himself said: you can connect the dots only looking backwards.
