More quotes by Steve Jobs
This is what customers pay us for - to sweat all these details so it's easy and pleasant for them to use our computers. We're supposed to be really good at this. That doesn't mean we don't listen to customers, but it's hard for them to tell you what they want when they've never seen anything remotely like it.
Steve Jobs
People don't know what they want until you show it to them. That's why I never rely on marketing research. Our task is to read things that are not yet on the page.
Steve Jobs
I met Woz when I was 13, at a friend's garage. He was about 18. He was, like, the first person I met who knew more electronics than I did at that point. We became good friends, because we shared an interest in computer and we had a sense of humor. We pulled all kinds of pranks together.
Steve Jobs
We just wanted to build the best thing we could build
Steve Jobs
Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.
Steve Jobs
The seven-inch tablets are tweeners: too big to compete with a smartphone, and too small to compete with an iPad.
Steve Jobs
People say sometimes, You work in the fastest-moving industry in the world. I don't feel that way. I think I work in one of the slowest. It seems to take forever to get anything done.
Steve Jobs
The engineering is long gone in most PC companies. In the consumer electronics companies, they don't understand the software parts of it. And so you really can't make the products that you can make at Apple anywhere else right now. Apple's the only company that has everything under one roof.
Steve Jobs
The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
Steve Jobs
I wish developing great products was as easy as writing a check. If that was the case, Microsoft would have great products.
Steve Jobs
There’s a phrase in Buddhism, ‘Beginner’s mind.’ It’s wonderful to have a beginner’s mind.
Steve Jobs
Part of what made the Macintosh great was that the people working on it were musicians and poets and artists and zoologists and historians who also happened to be the best computer scientists in the world.
Steve Jobs
I had been rejected, but I was still in love.
Steve Jobs
No one is going to buy a big phone.
Steve Jobs
I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.
Steve Jobs
It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it.
Steve Jobs
That's what makes great products. It's not process-it's content.
Steve Jobs
The subscription model of buying music is bankrupt. I think you could make available the Second Coming in a subscription model and it might not be successful.
Steve Jobs
If I knew in 1986 how much it was going to cost to keep Pixar going, I doubt if I would have bought the company.
Steve Jobs
Creativity is just connecting things.
