With so much going on at Apple in the last 12 months, it's hard to believe that co-founder Steve Jobs has actually been gone during that time. On Friday, Apple's homepage remembers the iconic leader who passed away one year ago.
Apple has posted a moving video tribute to co-founder Steve Jobs on the first anniversary of his death, along with a message from current CEO Tim Cook. Jobs passed away on October 5, 2011.
The video, entitled "Remembering Steve," mixes black-and-white photos of the legendary executive along with audio of some of his best quotes and moments over the years.
Following the video, Cook remembers his former boss in a public message:
"Steve's passing one year ago today was a sad and difficult time for us," the CEO writes. "I hope that today everyone will reflect on his extraordinary life and the many ways he made the world a better place.
"One of the greatest gifts Steve gave to the world is Apple," Cook continues. "No company has ever inspired such creativity or set such high standards for itself. Our values originated from Steve and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple. We share the great privilege and responsibility of carrying his legacy into the future.
"I'm incredibly proud of the work we are doing, delivering products that our customers love and dreaming up new ones that will delight them down the road," the CEO concludes. "It's a wonderful tribute to Steve's memory and everything he stood for."
We couldn't agree more.
