Son revealed the following story in an interview with the US Ambassador to Japan:</p> <blockquote><p>“I visited Apple for the announcement of the iPhone 4S [at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, California]. When I was having a meeting with Tim Cook, he said, ‘Oh Masa, sorry I have to quit our meeting.’ I said, ‘Where are you going?’ He said, ‘My boss is calling me.’ That was the day of the announcement of the iPhone 4S. He said that Steve is calling me because he wants to talk about their next product. And the next day, he died.”</p></blockquote> <p>Mr Jobs <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/05/steve-jobs-has-passed-away/">passed away</a> on October 5, 2011. </p> <p>While we’ve heard some tantalizing <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/10/11/steve-jobs-planned-4-years-of-new-apple-products/">clues to Apple’s future</a>, there was no indication as to what the product discussed between Steve Jobs and Tim Cook was.
