It's sometimes shocking to see pictures of people close to the end - especially when that ending is caused by sickness or disease. We were used to seeing Steve Jobs stood on stage in an auditorium, extolling the virtues of his latest Apple invention. This is the man who was primarily responsible for bringing the world the iPod, the iPhone, and the iPad. Many of the people reading this article right now will be doing so on a piece of technology Jobs invented.
Jobs was known for taking a relaxed style to business dress, preferring black turtleneck sweaters and blue jeans to shirts and suits. It was one of the factors which made him and his company appear 'cooler' than Bill Gates and Microsoft. Jobs seemed to keep his style to the very end, but here he looks frail and gaunt, supported in standing by a friend. This picture was taken on August 26th, 2011. Jobs finally succumbed to his illness on October 5th that year.
