Steve Jobs' journey with Apple can be divided into several key phases, each of which had a significant impact on the company and the technology industry as a whole:

The early years: 

In 1976, Jobs co-founded Apple with Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. The company's first product was the Apple I, a computer kit that was sold to hobbyists. In 1977, the company introduced the Apple II, which was the first mass-produced personal computer and a huge success for the company.

The Macintosh era:

 In 1984, Apple introduced the Macintosh, a revolutionary computer with a graphical user interface and a mouse. The Macintosh was a commercial failure initially, but it went on to become a cult classic and set the standard for user-friendly computer interfaces.

The Next years:

In 1985, Jobs was forced out of Apple and went on to found NeXT Computer. Next's operating system became the basis for Apple's Mac OS X in the late 1990s. NeXT also produced the first web browser and web server.

The return to Apple: 

In 1996, Apple acquired NeXT, and Jobs returned to the company as an advisor. He was named CEO in 1997 and immediately set about revitalizing the company. He introduced a series of successful products, including the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad, which transformed Apple into one of the world's most valuable and innovative companies.

Legacy: 
Jobs continued to lead Apple until his death in 2011. His legacy includes not only the products he helped create, but also his design philosophy, his marketing savvy, and his focus on creating products that are both beautiful and functional. Today, Apple remains one of the most valuable and influential companies in the world, and Jobs is remembered as a visionary leader who changed the course of technology history.

Conclusion:

Jobs was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2003, and although he continued to lead Apple through a number of successful product launches, his health declined rapidly in later years. He passed away on October 5, 2011, at the age of 56. Despite his relatively short life, Jobs left an indelible mark on the technology industry and continues to be revered as a visionary and a genius.
