Apple’s CEO Tim Cook is still struggling to forget the late Steve Jobs as he still kept Job’s contact on his iPhone’s contact list.
Job’s contact info will be preserved in Tim Cook’s contact lists as a digital memory. But Cook is not the only one who was unable to let go of Job from his contact list. Pixar’s Chief Creative officer, John Lasseter, ran into Tim Cook at a party where they begin to grieve about Steve Jobs and how neither of them was able to let go off Job’s contact info from their iPhone.
At Cook’s birthday party in 2013, “I got there kinda early, and Tim came in,” Lasseter said in the book. “He came over and we started talking, and I said, ‘Do you miss him? I really miss Steve,” Lasseter said, before taking out his iPhone to point to Jobs in his list of contacts. Cook took out his phone as well and revealed that he too could not bring himself to delete Jobs from his phone contacts.
This along with many other interesting and untold stories are mentioned on a newly released biography of Steve Jobs “Becoming Steve Jobs: The Evolution of a Reckless Upstart into a Visionary Leader,” which hit the market this Tuesday.
The author of the biography, Brent Schlender, was a close friend of Steve Jobs and it features interviews from co-workers, friends and family and his widow, Laurene Powell Jobs. Apple said to be participating on this biography with author Brent Schlender since he was a close friend of Jobs and believe he can preserve Steve Jobs legacy accurately.
The book shares many stories of Jobs and interviews taken by Schlender and Rick Tetzeli of his co-workers to reveal and share the wonders of Steve Jobs and how he has inspired everyone that he has worked with and how he has touched the lives of many during his journey of the visionary leader.
