Inside Apple’s 2011: Steve Jobs’ achievements, battles and crises
For Apple, 2011 marked a year of incredible accomplishments, capping a decade of deftly executed strategies including the development of Mac OS X, ten years of the iPod and the ten year anniversary of Apple Retail stores. But the year was also marked with technological tragedy, from Steve Jobs’ final struggle with cancer to the cataclysmic earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan and flooding in Thailand.
A photo captured nearly 30 years ago and brought to light this week shows a shaggy-haired Steve Jobs, clad in blue jeans and a leather jacket, expressing his affection for then rival IBM while walking the streets of New York City in the lead up to the launch of the first Mac.
This year, Apple’s mobile iOS platform reached its fifth annual release, adding new support for subscription content, iCloud, and new devices including the iPad 2, a CDMA iPhone 4 and the global iPhone 4S with Siri voice assistance. Meanwhile, the iPod line got no major updates for the first time in its history, as Apple continues to convert its iPod business into iOS device sales.

Late Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs was somewhat well-known for being a Japanese Zen Buddhist, but few knew how deep his infatuation with Japan ran and how it helped shape who he was and the company he created.
An unverified photo from a Korean Apple forum claims to detail the rumored iPad 3′s display, and reveals a subtle change from the iPad 2 that could suggest a higher resolution panel is being sourced for the upcoming tablet.
Apple is said to be weighing its options in opening a flagship store in Brazil, while the company continues to expand across Canada with a new mall location in Ontario.
Jonathan Ive gets a knighthood
The UK’s New Year’s Honours list is out, and there’s a familiar (well-muscled) figure on it. Apple’s design lead Jonathan Ive has received the honorary title of Knight Commander of the British Empire (KBE).
Ive was honored as a Commander of the British Empire in 2005, but now he can legitimately call himself “Sir Jony.” Ive is a 19-year Apple veteran and has long been considered one of the company’s key leadership assets, with Steve Jobs referring to him as a “spiritual partner.” His design sensibility and expertise has shaped Apple’s aesthetic; visitors to Hamburg’s design museum can still see examples of every Ive-designed product on exhibit through the middle of next month.
Congratulations to Sir Jonathan!
