Coming back speech, 2009
Good morning. I’m very happy to be here today with you all. As some of you may know five months ago I had a liver transplant. So I now have the liver of a mid-twenties person who died in a car crash and was generous enough to donate their organs. And I wouldn’t be here without such generosity. So I hope all of us can be as generous and elect to become organ donors.
I’d like to take a moment and thank everybody in the Apple community for the heartfelt support I got too. It really meant a lot and I’d also like to especially thank Tim Cook and the entire executive team of Apple. They really rose to the occasion and ran the company very ably in that difficult period. So thank you guys. It’s got a round of applause.
So, I’m vertical, I’m back at Apple, loving every day of it and I’m getting to work with incredibly talented teams to come up with some great new products for you all in the future. So it’s wonderful. Thank you.
Steve Job’s iPod presentation (intro), 2007
This is the day I’ve been looking forward to for two and a half years.
Every once in a while, a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything and Apple has been…Well first of all, one’s very fortunate if you get to work on just one of these in your career. Apple’s been very fortunate. It’s been able to introduce a few of these into the world. In 1984 we introduced the Macintosh. It didn’t just change Apple, it changed the whole computer industry. In 2001 we introduced the first iPod and it didn’t just change the way we’re listening to music, it changed the entire music industry. Well, today we’re introducing three revolutionary products of this class. The first one is a Widescreen iPod with touch controls. The second is a revolutionary mobile phone and the third is a breakthrough Internet communications device. So, three things, a Widescreen iPod with touch controls, a revolutionary mobile phone and a breakthrough Internet communications device. An Ipod, a phone and an Internet communicator, An iPod, a phone…are you getting it? These are not three separate devices. This is one device and we are calling it iPhone. Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone and here it is.
