Excerpts from the Book

Jobs’ Resignation as CEO -
Jobs was wheeled into a board meeting on August 24, 2011, the day he handed Apple’s reins to Tim Cook. As Jobs’ health deteriorated, he wrestled with the decision for weeks, discussing it with his wife, board member Bill Campbell, design chief Jonathan Ive and attorney George Riley.

When he finally made up his mind, arrangements were made to have him driven to 1 Infinite Loop and wheeled into the boardroom as secretly as possible. “One of the things I wanted to do for Apple was to set an example of how do you transfer power right,” Jobs told Isaacson. He added later that evening that his hope was to remain as active as his health allowed.
Making an Enemy out of Google Inc -
“Our lawsuit is saying, ‘Google, you f* ripped off the iPhone, wholesale ripped us off.’ Grand theft. I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I’m willing to go to thermonuclear war on this,” Jobs told Isaacson the week after the suit was filed.
“They are scared to death, because they know they are guilty. Outside of Search, Google’s products — Android, Google Docs — are shit.” Schmidt met with Jobs for coffee days later, but Jobs remained enraged and nothing was resolved.
“We’ve got you red-handed,” Jobs told Schmidt. “I’m not interested in settling. I don’t want your money, If you offer me $5 billion, I won’t want it. I’ve got plenty of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android.”
On Apple’s Integrated Approach -
“We do these things not because we are control freaks,” he said. Addressing users’ concerns, he said: “They are busy doing whatever it is they do best, and they want us to do what we do best. Their lives are crowded; they have other things to do than think about how to integrate their computers and devices.” “Look at the results — Android’s a mess …. We do it not to make money. We do it because we want to make great products, not crap like Android.”
