@Editor Rob: 6’0” looks correct but he looked heavier than 160 lbs. maybe that was when he was 20s and 30s

I thought he was at least 6ft2 for years. When he was younger, he was a dead ringer for Ashton Kutcher. He could've passed for his dad! Similar build - very rangy and long-limbed, ideal for looking much taller than 6ft.
I would certainly push for a bit over 6ft in his prime rather than under. Looked way too tall to be anything less.

this guy can make 6 foot look really tall. I really have no idea on his height. just know when he stood on stage he looked tall. Not like 6´2 or over but like a 6´1 guy. I could believe he was over 6 foot and rounded down, like i believe nick nolte did at peak. 182 seems impossible but 185 doesnt really seem impsobile if we go on by how he looked. That why i think he could have been closer to 184. Buts at the same time he was very skinny and that could be the reason why he pulled of looking 6´1 alot. i give him fraction over 6 feet.

Editor RobI can see how many might think of him as 6ft 1, as he had the kind of frame that could look that tall, but for a guy like Jobs to put down 6-0 as his height, would he have lied...

You have peeps here reporting Tim Cook at 6’3”, Steve Jobs at 6’2”, and a President Trump, on this site, at 6.5’; yet President Trump routinely appears to be two inches taller than Tim Cook - TinyURL.com/yxx6wep8
Which begs the question, must partisanship always outweigh truth?

Hi Rob,
Can we do a page for Tim Cook?
Great man, but a bit annoyed by Google's 6'3" specification.
I got a source here: Click Here
The focus of the article here is Cook and a Singaporean artist, JJ Lin.
JJ Lin (met him myself, I'm 5 8 flat, he seems around the same height) is one of the biggest stars in the Taiwanese pop industry. Due to his "artist" status, he is mostly focused on producing good music and less on personality and looks (never dyed his hair). Therefore, I could deduce that Lin is not wearing lifts. Even if he is, there still does not seem to be a 7 inch. disparity between Lin and Cook.

Editor Rob it could be argued...he was described as 6ft in a few books, and he claimed it....but then being a fraction over, some folk will drop it, others take liberty and round up to 6ft 1.

I've never met Steve Jobs but definitely saw him several times on California Avenue in Palo Alto, CA. On a couple of different occsions, he was exiting a Japanese restaurant called Jin Sho.
In any case, I can say that near the end of his life, he still retained his look. Svelte and tall, but I'd estimate he lost an inch or so. Looked closer to 5'11", but that's to be expected.

I still stand by my original estimate that Jobs was more 184 cm tall. Any taller is unlikely. I personally think he should be upgraded to 6'0.25" (184 cm), yeah I feel like this (184 cm) is a fair estimate for him. Strong 6 footer for sure.

I thought this site was about documenting the self-reported height of people as well as trying to estimate their height.
If that is the goal, it shouldn't matter that Jobs was content with being 6'0", if it is more likely that he was some other height.
I think Jobs was in the 6'0"-6'0.5" range. Conservatively, I would give him 6'0.25".

I still think there's a good chance that Jobs was 6'0.5" (184 cm.) tall, after all he looked to be 3 inches taller than 5'9.5" (177 cm.) Bill Gates. It seems pretty likely that Jobs was that height but due to the fact that he had to round on the questionnaire he may have rounded down simply because he didn't care about his height. However, like you said Rob, if he had no problem with being 6'0" (and 6'0" seems pretty accurate for him anyway) so be it.

My thoughts exactly. He always struck me as being a lanky 6ft2-3 guy like Kutcher. Taking height out of the equation, I'm stunned by the resemblance. Everything from the shape of his nose to his facial tics echo the great man. Kutcher is definitely THE guy to play Jobs.
i remember that years ago i read an article on web which claimed that the "managers height" is 6'2", because a lot of CEO's are 6'2" tall...he mentioned also Steve Jobs among those managers.

The biography by Walter Isaacson cites that Steve's adoptive father was over six foot in height when young.
There's a picture of both together in that very book, it's 1997 and Steve's wedding, he's an inch taller than his father. Had his father shrunk by then or was he little under the 6' mark on his youth.
