Steve Jobs -- the mega-genius who co-founded Apple Inc. -- has died ... reps for the company have confirmed.
Jobs was 56.
Jobs suffered a number of serious health issues over the years. In 2004, he announced he had a rare -- but treatable -- form of pancreatic cancer ... and had a tumor successfully removed from his pancreas later that year.
TMZ posted a picture of Jobs two days after he resigned as Apple's CEO in August, clearly showing a deterioration in his health.
In 2009, Jobs received a liver transplant after announcing his "health-related issues were more complex than I thought."
Jobs is survived by his wife, Laurene, and 4 children.
