In the sidebar, please change Steve Jobs' cause of death to Pancreatic Neuroendrocine Cancer instead of simply Pancreatic Cancer. They are not the same form of cancer, are treated differently, diagnosed differently and have significantly different symptoms. The link to Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatic_neuroendocrine_tumor. The body of the Wikipedia page states the correct diagnosis and cause, but the sidebar lists the wrong cause of death. So the page is inconsistent. Also, under the section titled "death", the copy that reads "islet-cell neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer" should link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatic_neuroendocrine_tumor instead of to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatic_cancer as they are different diseases, different forms of cancer. The full form of cancer should link to the right cancer, instead of just a fraction of the sentence linking to the wrong cancer. MichaelKlouda (talk) 19:44, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

It seems to be convention on Wikipedia to list colleges attended as part of of individual's "alma mater". Is there any reason why Reed College is not mentioned as part of this infobox field? BUjjsp (talk) 06:57, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
The Wikipedia page claims that Steve Jobs name at birth was Abdul Lateef Jandali. The only reference is from a GulfNews article written by someone claiming to be his cousin. There is no documented proof that his birth name is Abdul Lateef Jandali. The notes section also claims that his name was changed to Steven Jobs. Can someone independently verify his birth name before posting this on Wikipedia? I am requesting all information related to Abdul Lateef Jandali be removed from the Steve Jobs Wikipedia page until it can be independently verified and documented that his name at birth was indeed Abdul Lateef Jandali. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sookie7 (talk • contribs) 03:48, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
The articles referenced from Huffington Post uses the Gulf news article as a reference. The Indonesian article has no reference. This leads us back to the Gulf news article written by someone who admits they never met or talked to Steve Jobs. I have searched and have not been able to find any other sources that Steve Jobs had another name. I assume someone who knew him personally would have verified this long ago, but they have not. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sookie7 (talk • contribs) 02:18, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

Bill Gates Stole from Steven Paul Jobs
His cause of death was pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, not pancreatic cancer. Quantumtw (talk) 19:16, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
The paragraph that starts out, "Jobs usually went to work wearing a black long-sleeved mock turtleneck made by Issey Miyake..." is in an odd place. It implies by the flow that he was dressing that way in his earliest Apple days, and he was not. That came much, much later. It's an important piece of info, but it should be moved to be given better context.
The figure of $427 million is incorrect. It is $429 million. In any case you should 'cn'.

When I came upon this article today, I discovered that most of the information on Jobs's birth, adoption, childhood, and teenaged years was improperly sourced. The sources are listed, but they are books. No page numbers are included. There are tags all over the place that have been there since March 2018. I just removed some material and added some sources, but there is a lot more to be done. I am a bit surprised that an article on a high-profile subject like Jobs would be this sloppy.

Steve jobs made apple before a lot of people thought he did 165.139.150.133 (talk) 11:40, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
Steve's background the ethnicity was erased because "are we gonna go all the way Back to lucy" which is an absurb comment. To begin with, one generation back for US americans born to non US Americans is not abnormal in this or any other encyclopedia. in fact, it's not abnormal for many people born to parents that are not from the country of said human's birth. In addition, while beings the child of a Syrian Muslim had not effect in Steve Jobs that he was aware of, his adoption story and he fact that he was subsequently raised raised by his parents, with the knowledge he was adopted was bound to influence the personality of Steve Jobs. Also, his parents making sure he went to college, was entirely influnced by his birth mother, he feeling on the type of family he should go to after his adoption. Which to restate was entirely because jis mother was forbidden to marry his Syrian Muslim father. Finally, a compelling arguement can be nade that the white male Americans of Silicone Valley mythology was largely influnced by people like Steve Jobs. And while Steve Jobs likely considered himself white male and american christian, he was in fact a half Syrian of muslim descent. Meemsworldwide (talk) 21:22, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

For the first citation under the "Family" section without a page number, "he apologized many times over for his behavior" and "said that he never took responsibility when he should have, and that he was sorry".

In the sidebar, it says that his cause of death was pancreatic cancer. But then in the Health Issues section, it clearly states it was a neuroendocrine tumor on his pancreas. The sidebar should therefore say that his cause of death was Neuroendocrine cancer. They are different cancers and because people use this shortcut (calling it pancreatic cancer when it’s a tumor on his pancreas), neuroendocrine cancer is not well known.

Steve Jobs cashier 11Mousepad22457 (talk) 14:00, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
When Jobs denied paternity, a DNA test established him as Lisa's father. It[clarification needed] required him to give Brennan $385 a month in addition to returning the welfare money she had received. Jobs gave her $500 a month at the time when Apple went public and Jobs became a millionaire.

A lot of people have this idea that Jobs somehow "stole" ideas from Xerox. This myth really should be dispelled.
I was watching a few interviews this week and not only did Jobs openly admit he worked with Xerox and copied their idea, the engineers who worked for Xerox openly state that Jobs actually tried to encourage Xerox to produce their computer.
Several of the Xerox engineers stated that Xerox failed to understand how important its computer was, and that they ended up moving to Apple because Xerox did not embrace its own technology.
Xerox actually abandoned its technology and its engineers went to Apple as a result. This information really should be included in the article to dispel the myth that it was stolen technology. It was very clearly abandoned and even Xerox own engineers state this.

Wikileaks released a document saying Steve Jobs was HIV-positive.
The sentence below (3rd para. under "Birth") is confusing. Jobs is presumably the subject of "admitted," but who is "she" in the quotation?
When Steve Jobs was in high school, admitted to his girlfriend, Chrisann Brennan, that she "was too frightened to love [Steve] for the first six months of his life ... I was scared they were going to take him away from me. Even after we won the case, Steve was so difficult a child that by the time he was two I felt we had made a mistake. I wanted to return him."[13]Rozsaphile1 (talk) 13:02, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

The article states in the intro that:
"In 1974, he traveled through India seeking enlightenment and studying Zen Buddhism." You don't study Zen in India.
Under the "Pre Apple" section the article gives the correct information that: "Jobs traveled to India in mid-1974[57] to visit Neem Karoli Baba[58] at his Kainchi ashram with his Reed friend (and eventual Apple employee) Daniel Kottke, searching for spiritual enlightenment. When they got to the Neem Karoli ashram, it was almost deserted because Neem Karoli Baba had died in September 1973. Then they made a long trek up a dry riverbed to an ashram of Haidakhan Babaji."
Steve didn't go to India to study Zen Buddhism. He went to practice under a Hindu Yogi. Mpcahn (talk) 20:45, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
As detailed in Isaacson (34-49) and other sources already cited in the article, Jobs had read about several Eastern spiritual traditions before he went to India, including Zen. He went to India to learn from Hindu teachers, and upon returning to California he pursued Zen. The text should instead say: "In 1974, he traveled through India seeking spiritual enlightenment before pursuing Zen Buddhism." 67.180.143.89 (talk) 02:02, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
