Steve Jobs co-founded Apple Computer in 1976 with Steve Wozniak, pre-selling the Apple I to launch the company. The Apple II, introduced in 1977, sold over 6 million units and sparked the PC revolution. After being ousted in 1985, he founded NeXT and bought Pixar, which produced Toy Story in 1995. He returned to Apple in 1997 and led the creation of the iMac, iPod, iPhone 2007, and iPad 2010. Jobs died in 2011 at age 56 from pancreatic cancer.
