Apple CEO Tim Cook on Monday tweeted in memory of late Steve Jobs, on the 9th death anniversary of Apple's co-founder. Quoting poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou, Cook said: "A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again" - Maya Angelou. You're always with us Steve, your memory connects and inspires us every day". Jobs was diagnosed with a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour in 2003. He died of respiratory arrest at age 56 on October 5, 2011. Critics predicted that the Cupertino-based iPhone maker was doomed and would only survive for two to four more years at the most after Jobs' death. Journalist Leander Kahney, in his biography of Cook, takes a deep dive into how he turned a company that was near bankruptcy amid low employee morale into the world's first firm that touched $1 trillion mark in 2018 and is now America's first $2 trillion company.
