Production

Production began in June 2012 with over three days of filming on location at Jobs' childhood home in Los Altos, California, followed by 28 days of filming in Los Angeles.

The film was originally unveiled with the name "jOBS" to mimic the common Apple practice of a lowercase letter "i" in their product names. However, this was immediately met with derision by critics saying such a design would not have been keeping with Jobs' design aesthetic.
