Apple's Steve Jobs Gets Tribute On His 62nd Birthday

Back in 2011, Apple's Steve Jobs stepped down as CEO of the company, and lost his battle to cancer on October 5th of the same year. Had he been alive today, he would have been 62, with the world celebrating the solid mark he left through the products that he created through sheer dedication towards his work. As tribute, Tim Cook, Apple’s current CEO, sent out a tweet this morning, honoring Steve's memory and on how he inspires everyone.

"Remembering Steve, whose words and ideals will always inspire us,“ Cook writes on Twitter. Then he quotes Steve on one of his inspiring messages,"There is no reason not to follow your heart.” Dozens more of wise life advices from the man who popularized Apple products could be viewed online as way to remember his innovative genius and entrepreneurial prowess.

When Apple's Steve Jobs died, a lot of talk about the company not being the same anymore circulated, putting the new CEO under careful scrutiny when he took over. However, despite critics claiming otherwise, the company under Cook did turn out just fine. In fact, Apple was able to sell a record number of iPhones last quarter, breaking all the expectations of analysts and critics alike, the WCCFTech reports.

However, it doesn't mean the company is safe from failure. For example, despite being packed with revolutionary features, the MacBook Pro did take a lot of heat for ditching the essential USB-A port and SD card reader. People wonder if Steve Jobs would have done the same tweakings Cook did, but overall, consumers are satisfied as Apple phased out the optical drive and introduced USB-A as part of its products more readily than any other tech companies out there.

According to the Yahoo News, Apple pays tribute to Steve Jobs by opening a new campus in April designed with futuristic features which based its concept on Steve's remark about an enormous circular office space looking like a spaceship. The multi-billion dollar campus features another tribute to the former boss by naming the on-site theater after him. The company's design chief, Jony Ive, explains that the architecture is to remember Steve Jobs' investment of his "energy in creating and supporting vital creative environments".
