Week in Apple: farewell, Steve

257

It has been a tumultuous week in Apple news, to say the least. As you likely know, Apple cofounder and former CEO Steve Jobs passed away, with Tim Cook addressing employees about it in a new company-wide e-mail. The Ars staff looked back on our first Macs, and John Siracusa posted his own remembrance of Steve Jobs.

But in case you’re looking for more upbeat news, we have plenty of that too. Apple’s fall iPhone event happened earlier this week, and the Apple-using world now has the new iPhone 4S, iOS 5, and Sprint compatibility to look forward to! Read on for our roundup of our top Apple posts from the last week:
