He was beloved as much as he was because he operated in a world before Big Tech was viewed as a Big Villain. And, unlike many of today’s tech leaders, Jobs chose to—or could afford to—keep his politics private.
And he was beloved because nearly all of the products he helped unleash seemed to bring joy to the majority of their users, like the individual I met two decades ago who was grateful to Jobs for the simple everyday pleasure he derived from using his iPod mini.
Given how the world—and Big Tech’s role in it—has changed since Jobs’s passing, I don’t believe we’ll ever have another tech leader as beloved as he was. And, again, I think that is probably a good thing.

The Apple TV+ comedy “Mythic Quest” is done after four seasons, Variety has learned exclusively. The series aired its fourth season finale on March 26 following its January debut. It had been renewed for Seasons 3 and 4 back in 2021.

Earlier today, I moved a single button -- that runs a particular Shortcut -- in my iPhone's Control Center from the second page to the first page.
Firstly, four different buttons in the first page moved and I have to manually rearrange them back.
Secondly, that single button forgets which Shortcut to run, and I have to reset it.
Dear Apple: you can definitely do better.

All the leaks coming out about the different infighting teams in Apple made me realize that when I encounter a software bug in Appel devices, I can no longer just shake my fist and blame Mr Craig Federighi.
