Even that is better. At least I can tell what it is. This whole thing must be some kind of joke.

That monstrosity needs to be shoved into the other monstrosity adjacent to the Union Square store and melted down for fishing weights or something.
That does not look like Steve Jobs
.. IMHO it looks more like HP Lovecraft. And the creepy appendages only confirm it even more.
It's one of those things you look at puzzled, then when someone explains it you're all like "Ohhhhhhhh....."
So it represents a magnet. As in, Steve was a 'magnetic' person. Kind of makes a bit of sense...
No, I'm not a fan of it either. You shouldn't need a backstory to appreciate something like this.

If he just had kept it simple with the straight up monolithic look, it would have been pretty cool, but the hideous numbers and letters are soooo cheesy - and adding an Apple logo to make Steve Jobs look like a Trekkie is just... no.
Oh well at least it'll only be 10-16 feet tall.

Well, there is an "A", for Apple and the letter A.
The Cyrillic letter "Ш", which is like Greek letter Omega (equivalent to letter Z)
The binary 1 and 0.
So:
The Alpha to Omega, aka Beginning to End.
1 and 0, also beginning to end in binary numbers.
And a bust on a fence post....
How original. I think an Junior High student could have created that.
Maybe this?
(statue is 1.83m (6 ft tall)

Yes, but what if I told you this was actually the winner of a high school art competition, would you say we have a genius in our midst?
And to suggest that being made by hand is some sort of excuse for it's "chosen" imperfection, thousands of years of human history beg to differ with that assessment.

It's disgusting
not only that. it looks like taken from a scifi movie where steve is an angry, half-destroyed robot
If Steve were commissioning this piece, he would have it sent back...and make the worker toil and toil and scream at him, and if he still didn't get it right he would fire him in front of his peers and make a public spectacle, and then get another guy to do the job working 90 hours a week, and put him on a timetable and demand absolute perfection until the very best piece is made.
But... but... dat statue doen't look lak dat piccher at awwwl!!!
Who knew there were so many brilliant art critics on here?
