Silicon Valley pioneer and Apple co-founder Steve Jobs has died after a seven-year battle with pancreatic cancer.

The 56-year-old was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour in his pancreas in 2004 and had been on medical leave for an undisclosed condition since January 17.

"Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being," a statement on Apple's website reads.

"Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor."

Mr Jobs recently stepped down as chief executive of the company which he co-founded in a garage when he was 21.
