I do not know if at the entrance of Apple Park there is a pole with a flag, the one on the block, or the US flag. Americans are very likely to show their flag everywhere, so I wouldn't be surprised if the stars and stripes fly at the entrance to the complex. The point is that if there is such a mast, today it will undoubtedly have the flag hoisted at half mast.
Today it is nine years since the co-founder of Apple, Steve Jobs. Cancer took him away in 2011. Surely Tim Cook doesn't need to mark this day in black on his iPhone calendar. He remembers it perfectly. Today he tweeted a quote in memory of his boss and friend. DEP Steve.
Today marks the nineth anniversary of the death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. Tim Cook has written a tweet in memory of his boss and friend, with a quote from the poet and civil rights activist, Maya Angelou. The message goes like this:

We all know the history of the company. Like Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak they started out as friends and ended up as partners. Woz designed and manufactured a precarious personal computer in 1976, and together with his friend Jobs they decided to market it and start making more units by hand. They managed to manufacture and sell a first print run of 200 units.
And then came the eighties, where there was an explosion in the new market for user-level computing. Apple already had four years of experience in the sector, and it established itself in the market. In 1984 he released his first Macintosh.
Steve Jobs was diagnosed with cancer of pancreas in 2003, and revealed it to Apple employees the following year. Tim Cook came in to run the company as interim CEO in his absence, while Steve fought for his life. The position became permanent when Steve resigned as CEO in 2011, naming Cook as his successor. Jobs passed away just six weeks later.
The company created a page on the Apple website in memory of Steve Jobs, which can still be visited today. More of one million people have left their condolences in memory of the co-founder of one of the world's largest companies.
