"When Jobs came back to Apple in 1997, he had taken on a company in a sort of product disarray. Apple was making a lot of Macs, with no obvious rhyme or reason to the lineup; it was making, and not really selling, printers; it was trying to sell servers to businesses; it was building the Newton, a handheld device with a stylus and some big ideas about handwriting recognition."
"Jobs took the stage at the annual Macworld conference in a white shirt and dark jacket, and told the audience the Apple team had been working harder than ever to finish up a new computer, one designed with the internet in mind. It was called iMac. 'We think iMac's going to be a really big deal,' he told the audience. He was right."

His leadership marked a pivotal moment, as the company shifted focus towards innovative products, ultimately leading to a successful resurgence in the tech industry. The iMac became a symbol of this transformation, showcasing Apple's commitment to design and functionality.
