Tim Cook Asks Apple Employees to Remember Steve Jobs on Third Anniversary of His Death

People ONLY remember religious figures when they die? There's never an anniversary memory for, say, Elvis, Michael Jackson, Princess Diana, JFK, Walt Disney, famous hollywood actors and actresses? Oh, yeah right. The company my wife works for remembers their founder every anniversary of his death (he's been dead about 10 years now)
Seems like you have an agenda you'd like to spout.
Yep, we have over-sized phones and iPads (Pro) and buggy updates to remind us that Steve has passed...
Then don't buy any Apple products nor follow this website.
The company is great as ever. Change is good and will continue to happen.
Nobody can tell where things were heading had Steve beaten all his health issues. Sorry, but the crystal ball & time machine continue to be out of order.
But really, if you feel this way, make it easy on yourself & stop buying any, if you even do, Apple products and stick with Samsung, Google & that robust Amazon Fire. Yee haw!

lol this thread is getting into PRSI...chill everybody.
I had no idea my 4.7" phone wasn't portable. I mean if fits in my pocket wonderfully and I could use it with one hand. Oh well, guess I was wrong...

Most phones sold are no longer in this range. With the advent of tablets, more and more people have figured out how to use the web and apps via their "portable" device. Larger screens are needed in order to make surfing the web easier. I bought an iPhone 6. The size is a much enjoyed increase. If I had a way to safely carry the 6 plus, I would have gone for the larger screen.
9/11 I remember i was on the bus heading home from work (quarter to eleven Western Australia time, in the evening).
But Steve job's passing, nope. Sad though when I heard about it
Princess Diana left more of an impact on the world but let's not get into a debate. Just saying.
How? I know you're "just saying," but I'm truly curious as to what logic you're using to back up the idea that Princess Di changed the world more than Steve Jobs did.
It kind of makes me sad that people think that Apple is going to screw up so royally as to waste all the talent, profit and goodwill that they have built. Sometimes it feels as though people just assume that without Steve Jobs, the company is doomed.
I mean, it certainly is possible, but I don't think that it's a foregone conclusion the way so many others seem to think.
I'm actually proud to be a owner of a lot of Samsung products and yet I don't go around acting all smug and superior like the majority of Apple fanboys, especially on here!
I think people are forgetting who Steve left Apple to: Tim Cook. Steve had confidence in him and even with the recent issues, I don't think anyone else would have been better in Steve's absence.
I'm glad Tim and the company still honor someone who was extremely important to the company...I mean there wouldn't be an Apple or i-anything had he not started it.

I'd hope, at some point, they change that.
Certainly someone like Steve Jobs should always be remembered in a special way at a company like Apple. Photos, portraits, sculptures, awards, building names, scholarships, etc. are all ways to accomplish that.
But an office kept in a perpetual state of suspended animation strikes me as just a little bit creepy. And frankly at odds with Steve Jobs philosophy (at least as I understand it.) There is going to come a day that the iMac on the desk and the other office accoutrements are going to look as clunky and outdated as something from a Mad Men set looks to us.
Perhaps when Apple's new "Spaceship" campus opens and they move the executive offices it will be time to repurpose the Steve Jobs office space. Maybe pack it up, and move it whole to a museum some place.
But Steve Jobs would hate the idea of Apple becoming a "museum" or any sort of a "shrine."
Reality Distortion Field doesn't mean what you think it means. If you knew what it actually means, you'd wish it exists everywhere, unless you're a project manager.
Windows and Mac
With Windows, the biggest promise is you'll proudly show your figures for the Quarterly Report on a Windows machine. With Apple, it'll make you creative. I prefer the second.

Lots of these software glitches and so on happened on Steve's watch too. Be ambitious, you might screw up. But despite the uneven performance, when it's up and working it's just great. It's not easy to do this. Compare this to Mac.com, and that was around the height of the Jobs ascendancy.

Let's be clear. Steve would have said anything about the iPhone as a differentiator. If other phones were a different size, 3.5 was perfect. If all the other phones had one kind of screen - his had another. If all other phones had X - his phone had Y and it was better.
It's was never a question of what he believed. It was a matter of smart marketing.
Find a woman who can fit one in her pocket. Guess they don't count in your world.I had no idea my 4.7" phone wasn't portable. I mean if fits in my pocket wonderfully and I could use it with one hand. Oh well, guess I was wrong...
BTW, do you happen to be part of Gamer Gate?

Ignorance from someone who has no sources to cite. Smartphones >5" represent only around 10% of all smartphones, and only about 6% of all phones. They are a big deal only because they are Android's one source of profit and Apple's critics have nothing else to whine about.
"Wrong" is an insane word to use here. I just transitioned from a Nexus 5 to an iPhone 5s and really like the smaller size. The only "wrong" thing in the size discussion is the idea that there is a "right" one.
I hope Apple adds a smaller phone back to their lineup next year as even the 6 is a little large for me. I really like that I can get to everything with one thumb. (What blows the mind is that with that philosophy in mind they don't natively support gesture typing.)
The iphone 6 is the best selling iphone ever, even steve jobs would be proud of it. Sooner or later he will have to accept that people want bigger phones.
If you don't have an iphone 6 you can't say nothing, after you have an iphone 6 for some days you will love it and you will easily forgot the other version of iphones.
When I have use an iphone 5S of a Friend it feels like prehistoric, the screen is small, the keyboard is small, and all the design looks very old.
I think that Tim is doing a great job with Apple but there will never be someone like Steve Jobs, he was clearly a genius and he was always thinking of the next big thing.
I wish that there was some type of technology to put Steve Jobs in a computer like the movie Transcendence but unfortunately the technology is very primitive right now.
Steve Jobs will be always remembered like Einstein and other great people.

He invented a lot of things and was a smart person, but was he a great person?
