Steve Jobs The New Yorker

October 8th, 2011

The death of Steve Jobs has led to tributes in every format, as the world mourns the loss of the iconic innovator to pancreatic cancer at just 56 years old.

Next week will see a number of magazine covers honoring the Apple co-founder, but one in particular has generated some controversy.

The New Yorker will print a cover depicting Jobs, in his famous black turtleneck, arriving at Heaven’s “pearly gates,” where St. Peter is shown checking an iPad.
