- Both Jobs (2013) and _St. Vincent (2014)_ share the same Bob Dylan song, Shelter From the Storm, during final credits.
- Aaron Sorkin revealed before the film's official release that the it would consist of three, 30-minute scenes spreading across sixteen years of the life of Steve Jobs. All of the scenes will dramatize backstage events before three major product launches (the Macintosh in 1984, NeXT in 1988, and the iMac in 1998). These scenes will take place in real time at "two auditoriums, a restaurant and a garage," with a few flashbacks depicting key moments of Jobs' life inserted throughout the story.
- Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin has said that he had never actually met Steve Jobs, but that he had only ever spoken to him on the phone three times.
- In the final act when Steve Jobs is revising his speaker notes, the table he leans on has a black rectangular outline, white back light and coloured, square notes - closely resembling the layout of the iPhone.
- The film takes place in 1984, 1988 and 1998.
