Apple co-founder Steve Jobs continues to make an impact following his death in October, 2011 from pancreatic cancer -- even all the way in the former Soviet streets of St. Petersburg, Russia.
MacRumors is reporting that Russian designer Gleb Tarasov has created a six-foot-tall sculpture of an iPhone 4 in St. Petersburg to commemorate the life of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.
While the iPhone doesn't have a functional touchscreen, it does display photos and videos from Steve Jobs' life in a running slideshow, complete with key events and speeches from the former CEO's life.
The tribute was unveiled Wednesday to mark the 12th anniversary of iTunes, which also happened to fall on the sixth anniversary of Jobs debuting the original iPhone at the Macworld Expo in 2007.
Should you plan to visit Russia in the future, the iPhone is located inside the courtyard of the St. Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics, and the commemoration also features a scannable QR code that links to the university's memorial website.
