It's really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don't know what they want until you show it to them.

More quotes by Steve Jobs
Death is very likely the single best invention of life.
Steve Jobs
I told [Bill Gates] I believed every word of what I said but that I should never have said it in public. I wish him the best, I really do. I just think he and Microsoft are a bit narrow. He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger.
Steve Jobs
The things I've done in my life have required a lot of years of work before they took off.
Steve Jobs
I'd like the people teaching my kids to be good enough that they could get a job at the company I work for, making a hundred thousand dollars a year. Why should they work at a school for thirty-five to forty thousand dollars if they could get a job here at a hundred thousand dollars a year?
Steve Jobs
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help make the big choices in life. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
Steve Jobs
As Regis Mckenna once said, the best marketing is education
Steve Jobs
Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. The iMac is not just the color or translucence or the shape of the shell. The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer in which each element plays together.
Steve Jobs
It's rare that you see an artist in his 30s or 40s able to really contribute something amazing. Of course, there are some people who are innately curious, forever little kids in their awe of life, but they're rare.
Steve Jobs
iMac is next year's computer for $1,299, not last year's computer for $999.
Steve Jobs
The most important thing is a person. A person who incites your curiosity and feeds your curiosity and machines cannot do that in the same way that people can.
Steve Jobs
We want to reinvent the phone. What's the killer app? The killer app is making calls! It's amazing how hard it is to make calls on most phones. We want to let you use contacts like never before - sync your iPhone with your PC or mac.
Steve Jobs
The desktop computer industry is dead. Innovation has virtually ceased. Microsoft dominates with very little innovation. That's over. Apple lost. The desktop market has entered the dark ages, and it's going to be in the dark ages for the next 10 years, or certainly for the rest of this decade.
Steve Jobs
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
Steve Jobs
Apple stores are intended not just to move boxes, but to enrich lives.
Steve Jobs
I had been rejected, but I was still in love.
Steve Jobs
Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.
Steve Jobs
Apple is the only company in the world that has all of that under one roof. We can invent a complete a solution that works - and take responsibility for it.
Steve Jobs
Most people never pick up the phone and call. Most people never ask, and that’s what separates the people who do things from the people who just dream about them.
Steve Jobs
Much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.
Steve Jobs
We do not say anything about future products. We work on them in secret, then we announce them.
Steve Jobs
