he lacked the experience that was needed of him
That's a rubbish answer.
Why Steve Jobs was Fired from AppleDo you like this story?One of the most intriguing chapters in Steve's stellar career and life was his being fired from Apple. Steve Jobs was fired in 1985 from a company he founded after a power struggle with then Apple CEO John Sculley that led to the Apple Board voting him out and leaving him in the wilderness for 12 years until 1997 when he rejoined Apple as the CEO and took Apple on the path to victory.
In 1984, Steve convinced John Sculley, the Pepsi Cola President to join Apple as CEO while Steve immersed himself in several projects and technology developments at Apple. However, the young headstrong Steve soon had a clash with his "boss" on the direction of the company and Steve wanted to be CEO again.
Steve made a plan to get rid of Sculley from the CEO job by sending him to China and organizing a corporate coup d'etat. Sculley went to China but soon enough got wind of Steve's plot and rushed back to the United States just in time to conspire with the Apple Board to throw Steve out. Everyone on the board voted against Steve Jobs, the board was apparently unhappy with Steve's indiscipline.
Steve Job's problems at Apple started when Apple was designing a personal computer LISA. Steve was expelled from this project in 1982 and asked to work for Macintosh. LISA was presented in 1983 and it did not perform well. Though, people believe it was a marketing failure. While the project assigned to Steve - Macintosh did extremely well. Steve now lost faith on Scullery and he wanted the control back. He started doing odd things like late night meetings and long faxes and many nondisciplinary activities. The Board lost patience with him. The China tour was therefore just the final trigger for the Board to get rid of this troublesome genius.
YES. For a long period from somewhere in the 70s to 1997, Steve Jobs was actually fired from his own company. He decided to start another computer company, NeXT, which he challenged Apple with. Eventually, in 1997, Apple acquired NeXT, along with Steve Jobs, where he took his seat back on the throne of Apple.
Jobs financed the company himself and gave his new employees freedom to explore what they could do. It was part of Jobs's evolving vision of computers: he became an advocate of the technology as enhancing creativity
They became friends in 1970 and formed Apple computer in 1976.

Steve Wozniak remains a share holder in Apple and is unlikely to have sold any to Steve Jobs as he has plenty of his own.
he's the guy that got the idea of the iphone
Steve Jobs was ousted from Apple in 1985 due to internal power struggles and conflicts with the company's board and CEO, John Sculley, whom he had recruited. After a series of product failures and declining sales, the board lost confidence in Jobs' leadership style and vision. This culminated in a boardroom confrontation that led to Jobs being removed from his managerial role, although he remained a shareholder. His departure ultimately paved the way for a later comeback that revitalized the company.
There is no evidence to suggest that Bill Gates stole Steve Jobs' software. Both Gates and Jobs were influential figures in the tech industry, but they had their own unique contributions and innovations.
I believe Steve Jobs was persuaded into coming back to "Apple Inc.", for the purpose of (Doing what Steve Jobs did so well, See it as being better, whatever it may have been.)SAVE APPLE INC.,(Himself a co-founder with Steve W.)"Re-Creating "APPLE",(along with the I-Pad) which desperately needed more than just a face lift. Steve Jobs was direct, straight to the point, having a very strong core belief in - "Yes We Can". So whatever has to be done....has to be done. He lived it, breathing in and out life as he loved living it and man did he show alot of us how to exit this life when the time-clock begins to slow and then it just stops... for each of us.
It will depend on what job you do and if the company allows it
