Tim Cook says Steve Jobs' office is still Steve Jobs' office
Although he passed away in 2011, the memory of Steve Jobs still touches everything that Apple does. His presence isn't just felt in the products of the company, but in his old office as well. In a new interview with Business Week about the iPhone 6, Tim Cook confirms that Steve Jobs' office is still Steve Jobs' office.
Steve Jobs's office remains Steve Jobs's office. After his death in 2011, Tim Cook, his friend and successor as Apple (AAPL) chief executive officer, decided to leave the sparsely decorated room on the fourth floor of 1 Infinite Loop untouched. It's not a shrine or place of mourning, but just a space that Cook sensed no one could or should ever fill. "It felt right to leave it as it is," he says. "That's Steve's office."
It's a lovingly simple tribute to the Apple founder that was in line with his design philosophy; nothing extravagant or flashy, just what was needed to get the point across. The statement "that's Steve's office" is all the memorial the space needs.
