Apple CEO Tim Cook tweeted in memory of Steve Jobs on what would have been his 66th birthday yesterday. "Celebrating Steve on what would have been his 66th birthday," Mr Cook wrote while sharing a black and white photograph of the late Apple co-founder, who died in 2011 after a long battle with cancer.
On the birth anniversary of Steve Jobs, Mr Cook said that the legacy of his former boss continued to inspire him every day. "Especially in a year where so much kept us apart, technology brought us together in limitless ways," he wrote, calling it a testament to Steve Jobs's life and the legacy he left behind.
Tim Cook took over as the chief executive of Apple a few weeks before Steve Jobs died in October 2011 at the age of 56. His tribute to Mr Jobs garnered several messages from people remembering the man who helped transform Apple into one of the world's biggest tech companies.
Tim Cook has often remembered Steve Jobs in his posts and speeches. He had remembered the American businessman on his death anniversary with a quote from Maya Angelou last year.
According to 9to5Mac, Tim Cook also spoke of Steve Jobs when he delivered the commencement address at Stanford University last year.
"Fourteen years ago, Steve stood on this stage and told your predecessors, 'your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life'," he said. "Here's my corollary: Your mentors may leave you prepared, but they can't leave you ready.
"When Steve got sick, I had hardwired my thinking to believe that he would get better. I not only thought he would hold on, I was convinced down to my core that he'd still be guiding Apple long after I myself was gone."
