March 2011: iPad 2 launch

Although he was officially on a medical leave that started in January 2011, Jobs made sure that he was on hand for the unveiling of the iPad 2 two months later in early March. In concluding the event, he revisited a theme that stretched back to the early days of Apple. "It's in Apple's DNA that technology alone is not enough. It's technology married with liberal arts, humanities that yields us the result that makes our heart sing. And nowhere is that more true than in these post-PC devices."

Here, Jobs mingles with friends and colleagues after the iPad 2 event.
