Steve Jobs over the years

Steve Jobs has never been trend-setter fashion-wise. His taste in clothes is impossibly bland and predictable. He probably cares much more about the mark that Apple’s hardware and software will leave on the world than the medium-washed blue jeans and black mock-turtleneck he wears without fail.

Or maybe he subscribes to the idea (attributed to Albert Einstein) that wasting brain power on choosing a new outfit everyday detracts from the thought-work that could go into more important problems.

Aside from his uniform, Jobs’ physical appearance has undergone drastic changes over the past seven years. It makes us all wonder if Apple will still be Apple if Jobs is too sick to be a part of it. Perhaps that’s the reason we have seen many more of the faces behind the hardware and software Apple produces at announcements and events in recent years. No longer a one man show, Apple apparently made up of SEVERAL middle-aged white men.
