There is something about the photograph that has been put up on the Apple India homepage. He seems to be saying, "Wait for the next launch. I have quite a few surprises lined up!" The photograph also portrays a sense of humor and an almost mischievous glint in the eyes. Photographs taken at various events impress his strong personality upon the observer - simple hand gestures and a confident jaw.
I have never heard him speak. Not even his much acclaimed Stanford Commencement Speech on Youtube. And I do not know how he sounds. Rather, how he used to sound. And I would like to keep it that way.
I would rather remember him as the thin man in a black turtleneck - the iMan.
