According to a New York Times article Steve Jobs, co-founder and former CEO of Apple, died on Wednesday of complications from pancreatic cancer. He was 56.

Mr. Jobs’ death occurred just one day after the release of the highly anticipated iPhone 4S.

On August 24, 2011, Mr. Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple Inc. because of his illness. “I have always said that if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s C.E.O., I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come,” said Jobs in a letter released by the company.

An obituary on Apple’s website reads: “Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.”
