The chairman and co-founder of Apple Steve Jobs has died aged 56. Jobs became one of the most famous people in the world after making his technology company Apple into a household name. He gave us many amazing and beautifully designed products, including the iPod, iPad, iPhone and iTunes. A lot of the technology he pioneered changed our lives. In 2004, Jobs announced that he had pancreatic cancer. He stepped down as Apple CEO in January 2011 due to ill health.

Tributes to Steve Jobs reflect how important he was. Apple said: “The world is immeasurably better because of Steve…and the world has lost an amazing human being". New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said: "America lost a genius who will be remembered with Edison and Einstein, and whose ideas will shape the world for generations to come." U.S. President Barack Obama said Mr Jobs was “bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it”.
