It should be remembered for the launch of iCloud, but instead the WWDC on June 6, 2011, will always be known as the last appearance of Steve Jobs at an Apple event. It was 15 years ago, today.

Even as early as WWDC 2006, there was concern over Steve Jobs’s health. By WWDC 2011 on June 6 that year, there was no denying that he was looking gaunt, and that he had less energy than we were used to.
But then by this time, there was also no denial that his health was poor. He’d had leaves of absence for treatment, and Apple had stopped pretending everything was fine.
