Steve Jobs is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the tech industry, largely due to his tenure as CEO of Apple. Jobs co-founded Apple in 1976 and oversaw the development of several groundbreaking products, including the first Macintosh computer, the iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad. During his time as CEO, Jobs was known for his intense focus on design and user experience, as well as his perfectionism and insistence on maintaining control over every aspect of Apple’s products. His leadership style was often controversial, but there is no denying the tremendous impact he had on the company’s success. Under Jobs’ leadership, Apple became one of the most valuable companies in the world and a leader in innovation and design. Jobs’ legacy continues to influence Apple’s culture and approach to product development, and his impact on the tech industry as a whole is undeniable. As of today, Tim Cook, Apple’s current CEO surpassed the tenure of Steve Jobs’ time in office, which was previously 4,249 days.

Tim Cook took over as CEO of Apple in 2011 following the passing of Steve Jobs. Prior to becoming CEO, Cook served as Apple’s COO and played a critical role in the company’s operations and supply chain management. Since taking over, Cook has continued to build on the foundation laid by Jobs, overseeing the release of several successful products, including the iPhone 12 and the M1 chip for Macs. Cook has also focused on expanding Apple’s services business, which includes the App Store, Apple Music, and iCloud.

Under Cook’s leadership, Apple has become the first publicly traded U.S. company to reach a market capitalization of $2 trillion. Cook has also been vocal about his commitment to social and environmental responsibility, with Apple making significant strides in areas such as renewable energy and worker rights. While Cook’s leadership style is more low-key than Jobs’, he has proven to be a highly effective CEO, and Apple remains one of the world’s most successful and innovative companies under his guidance.
