The Beginning of an Obsession
Steve Jobs wasn't just a visionary. He was a perfectionist, obsessed with detail on a scale few business leaders could match. From the earliest days of Apple, Jobs demonstrated an uncommon concern for quality and detail that would become the backbone of his corporate philosophy. This focus on excellence often went beyond the bounds of business logic and was reflected in every aspect of the company—from product design to user experience.
Jobs founded Apple in 1976, alongside Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne. Although Apple was a pioneer in the development of personal computers, Jobs's obsession was not only with technological innovations, but also with how people interacted with technology. For him, aesthetics were as important as functionality. This obsession with detail led Apple to create iconic products that revolutionized entire markets, such as the iPhone, iPad and MacBook.
Jobs believed that user experience should not be separated from design and functionality. His mantra was clear: "Design isn't just what it looks like and feels like; design is how it works." He was committed to ensuring that every aspect of a product was treated with meticulous attention, from the packaging to the software that came with it.
Practical example: 
The launch of the iPhone in 2007 perfectly exemplifies Jobs's obsession with detail. Jobs was so immersed in the details of the touchscreen that he forced engineers to develop an interface that was intuitive and aesthetic, while also being responsive and functional. Apple spent years perfecting the design of the display, focusing on touch, feedback, and visual interaction. The iPhone was not just an innovative product, it was a work of art.
