Today Marks Steve Jobs' 64th Birthday as MacRumors Turns 19Former Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, and if he were still alive, today would mark his 64th birthday.
Jobs not only founded Apple alongside Steve Wozniak in 1976 and directed the development of some of the first personal computers, but he also brought Apple back from the brink of failure even after being ousted from the company he created.
In the 2000–2010s, Jobs was responsible for not only saving Apple, but then building it into one of the largest companies in the world. The introduction of the
iPod in 2001 and
iPhone in 2007 represented industry-changing products that have sold hundreds of millions of units.

Steve Jobs
passed away on October 5, 2011, at the age of 56. Jobs had been suffering with complications related to pancreatic cancer in the years leading up to his death. Jobs has obviously affected the world with his contributions to Apple, and his death impacted us all. The
article of his passing cites many reactions and photos from around the world.
Coincidentally, MacRumors shares the same birthday as Steve Jobs and was created on February 24, 2000. Today, the site turns 19 years old, and we are grateful for our dedicated readers, community members, and volunteers.
Update: Apple CEO
Tim Cook has shared a tweet reflecting on how Steve Jobs would have loved
Apple Park, the campus Jobs conceptualized before he passed away.

He would have loved it here, in this place he dreamed up — the home and inspiration for Apple’s future innovations. We miss him today on his 64th birthday, and every day.
