The event was staged at Cupertino headquarters.
Tim Cook, the board member and former US vice president Al Gore were among those in attendance at the event.
Mr Cook said that the passing of Mr Jobs was the saddest time of his life.
Addressing the crowd, he said: "Steve never followed the herd. He thought deeply about almost everything and was the most unconventional thinker I have ever known."
This comes shortly after a forthcoming authorised biography of Mr Jobs showed his determination to destroy Android.
Indeed, Mr Jobs said that he was prepared to spend all of Apple's money and his dying breath to achieve this ambition.
Mr Jobs said that he viewed Android's similarity to iOS as "grand theft".
