Image was important to Jobs and Apple from the very beginning, when the legend of Jobs and Steve Wozniak creating a computer in a garage was first created, it remained paramount to the point where Jobs may have deliberately understated his illness in his final months.

Although many depictions of Apple’s history suggest that Jobs was pushed out of Apple by John Sculley, who led Apple as its CEO from 1983 to 1993, Wozniak says Jobs left the company on his own.
“All the four the-steve-jobs-movie-will-be-released-in-october-2015 main actors want to come back and do it, and so now it is only a matter of getting all their schedules together which is complicated by two of them doing American TV series”, the director said. Hence, I did not see Jobs’ reactions to when things didn’t go his way.
In other news, Danny Boyle will finally make a sequel to his masterpiece “Trainspotting. He was down, no one pushed him, but he was off the Mac, which was his deal – he never forgave me for that”, he told the Engage 2015 Conference in Prague. These media events used to be the Jobs Show; he commanded the tech world’s attention with singular showmanship, and it was hard to believe, when he was around, that a post-Jobs Apple could ever spark such excitement. Jobs would get into discussions but he was almost always the smartest person with the most thought out arguments and reasoning. In that case, he blamed the LISA team. “But Steve felt it was the fault of lousy engineers who couldn’t find shortcuts”. He then took over our Macintosh project because we had the few most creative sorts in the company, and headed it to being a low-cost LISA. Just a program to “look like’ a mouse-based computer was all Steve wanted, largely because his technical knowledge was low, on what an OS was about”. It’s not Apple II, it’s Apple ][. “And then I got fired”. He was, for the most part, known as a monster by those closest to him. He said that “Steve Jobs” is meant to be a direct signal from inside the mind of Apple’s co-founder, with all of its wonders and all of its horrors. The movie was about Jobs internal personality, not much about his business failings. In an interview earlier this year, Sculley said, “It was after making the pitches [regarding Macintosh Office] that the Apple board asked Steve to step down from the Macintosh division for being too disruptive in the organization”.
“This movie does a good job with accuracy of issues even if all the scenes with myself or Andy Hertzfeld talking to Jobs never happened at all”.

“This illusion of friendship and closeness gives us the illusion of a personal connection to him”.
