A statement on the Official Apple website said "Apple have lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple".
It was only just over a month ago that Steve Jobs decided to step down as the CEO of Apple after suffering with cancer for many years, he released a statement at the time saying "I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come", Apple's COO Tim Cook took over his place as CEO.
Rest in peace Steve
