Steve Jobs, the mastermind behind Apple's iPhone, iPad, iPod, iMac and iTunes, has died, Apple said. Jobs was 56.
Taarifa zaidi yanasema Jobs amefariki dunia kwa amani akiwa amezungukwa na watu wa familia yake.
Si familia ya Jobs' wala Apple hakuna aliyethubutu kutaja mahali Jobs alipofia wala sababu za kifo chake au nini kilichomuua, though in recent years he had fought a form of pancreatic cancer and had a liver transplant.
"We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today," read a statement by Apple's board of directors. "Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts."
Kurasa za mtandao wa Apple zimefanya chapisho la ukurasa mzima wenye picha ya Jobs inayoambatana na neno, "Steve Jobs 1955-2011." (Steve Jobs Tangu 1955 hadi 2011)
"Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being," the text read. "Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."
Kifo cha Jobs' chaigusa ikulu ya Marekani.
"Michelle and I are saddened to learn of the passing of Steve Jobs," President Obama said in a written statement. "Steve was among the greatest of American innovators - brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it."
Jobs co-founded Apple Computer in 1976 and, with his childhood friend Steve Wozniak, marketed what was considered the world's first personal computer, the Apple II.
Shortly after learning of Jobs' death, Wozniak told ABC News, "I'm shocked and disturbed."
Industry watchers called Jobs a master innovator -- perhaps on a par with Thomas Edison -- changing the worlds of computing, recorded music and communications.

HABARI
WAKATI jana wanafunzi wa kidato cha nne wakianza mitihani yao ya kuhitimu elimu ya sekondari, hatimaye serikali imerejesha tena mtihani wa kidato cha pili.
Naibu Waziri wa Elimu na Mafunzo ya Ufundi, Philip Mullugo, alitangaza urejeshaji huo mbele ya wananchi wa jimbo lake la Songwe lililoko wilayani Chunya, mkoani Mbeya.
Mullugo alisema kuwa ili kupunguza kushuka viwango vya ufaulu hapa nchini hasa kwa kidato cha nne, serikali imeamua kurejesha mtihani huo wa kidato cha pili na wanafunzi wote watatakiwa kufikisha wastani wa alama 25 ili kuendelea na masomo ya kidato cha tatu.
“Kuanzia mwaka huu hakuna mwanafunzi atakayeruhusiwa kuendelea na kidadto cha tatu bila kufanya mtihani wa kidato cha pili na kufikisha wastani wa 25,” alisema Mullugo.
Wakati huohuo, Naibu Waziri huyo wa Elimu na Mafunzo ya Ufundi alitoa msaada wa zaidi ya shilingi mil. 277 kwa ajili ya kusaidia elimu jimboni humo.
