I’m a relative newbie to Apple/Macs but am keen to learn more and wondered if anyone could recommend any decent books there are on Apple/Steve Jobs etc. I purchased my first MacBook Pro a couple of years ago (2015 model, 13” retina) and love it. I’d always had Windows computers before, although I’m not now anti-Microsoft/Windows or anything like that. I like both operating systems but am glad I made the switch to a Mac.


I recently watched the Jobs film which starred Ashton Kutcher and – being someone that knows little about Apple or Steve Jobs – found it an interesting and enjoyable film. I have just ordered the Apple Confidential 2.0 book but wondered if any of you have other recommendations?

"Steve Jobs", with Michael Fassbender and Kate Winslett, screenplay by Aaron Sorkin, excellent.

FWIW, i haven't nor do I plan on watching Sorkin's movie about Steve Jobs, and I mildly regret watching the one with Ashton Kutcher.

Cheers

Thanks. I watched the Michael Fassbender film (Steve Jobs) and the Ashton Kutcher one (Jobs). I preferred the Ashton Kutcher one, but that's just my opinion.
