List of depictions of Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs was an American pioneer of the personal computer revolution of the 1970s who, along with Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne, founded Apple Computer. Before and after his death in 2011, Jobs was known as a counter-culture figure within the computer industry, and as a perfectionist who could be demanding of his colleagues and employees—sometimes to the point of cruelty.

Jobs's official biographer, Walter Isaacson, described him as a "creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing".[1]
