15 Years of OS X The Steve Jobs biopic, released in 2015, exaggerated his transition from Apple. The film’s interpretation of the NeXT creation was Steve’s long-term strategy to get back into Apple one day. Watching early demos of the NeXT Step operating system and NeXT Cube never suggested this. Instead, Steve saw this as the next evolution of client computing, object-oriented programming, networking, and image manipulation. NeXT never became the next big thing in computing, but parts of it revolutionized the industry....
