Steve Jobs, Apple’s visionary co-founder and chairman, has died. He was 56.
Jobs had stepped down as CEO in August due to health problems. He had been previously stricken with pancreatic cancer and had struggled with health issues since 2004.
“Steve died peacefully today surrounded by his family,” his relatives said in a brief statement.
“In his public life, Steve was known as a visionary; in his private life, he cherished his family. We are grateful for the support and kindness of those who share our feelings for Steve.”
