* RuleOfSymbolism: There's some inventive staging done to highlight Jobs and Woz's overall roles when it came to founding Apple.
** When Woz shows off his Nixie watch to Jobs before Next's unveiling, the both of them sit down in front of the music stands where the conductor is usually positioned. While Jobs boasts about being the conductor of the orchestra, their position makes it clear that Woz is just as much a conductor as Jobs claims to be. It's especially amusing when Jobs describes Woz as just another musician and should stay where he belongs... despite the fact that Woz is still standing where the conductor should be.
** Their confrontation about acknowledging the Apple II team has Woz in the audience seats while Jobs is on stage, highlighting how Jobs is the public face for Apple while Woz is more of TheEveryman and prefers to watch from the sidelines. However, since this scene was about his anger at Jobs's refusal to give credit where credit is due, he noticeably gets out of his seat to chew him out, demonstrating how he's fed up and no longer wants to just sit by while Jobs (quite literally in this setting) hogs the spotlight.

* MetaphoricallyTrue: Jobs' conflict with Sculley in the 1990s largely hinges on Steve publicly claiming that Sculley fired him from Apple, which Sculley claims isn't true. While there's more than a grain of truth in Jobs' claims, the full story turns out to be much more complicated: Sculley threatened to resign from Apple unless Jobs was fired, and asked the board of directors to vote on whether to keep him in the company, effectively asking them to choose between him and Jobs--and Jobs ''dared'' him to call for a vote, despite Sculley apparently warning him beforehand that the board would never take his side.

* UngratefulBastard: Some of Jobs' animosity toward Sculley stems from him blaming Sculley for the Macintosh's lackluster sales, despite him being one of its strongest supporters. Even after Sculley risks his career to ensure that the Macintosh's famous Super Bowl ad makes it to television over the objections of Apple's board of directors, Jobs ''still'' accuses him of trying to sabotage him by killing the ad.

* NeverMyFault: A major source of tension between Jobs and Sculley is Jobs' continual insistence on blaming all of his problems with the Macintosh on Sculley. Sculley calls him out on this around the midpoint of the film, noting that Jobs (wrongly) convinced the public that Sculley fired him from Apple; in reality, Apple's board of directors voted him out after he brazenly ignored Sculley's warnings about challenging the board over their decision to revoke support for the Macintosh. When Jobs describes his ouster from Apple as a "homicide", Sculley retorts that it was a ''suicide''.

* CharacterDevelopment: In the first act, Steve Jobs puts Andy Hertzfeld through hell to make him fix the voice demo before the scheduled time they're supposed to open the launch: "We're a computer company! We can't start late!" This is echoed in the second act, when after having told off John Sculley in an explosive confrontation leaves with the words "We can't start late." Finally, there's the end of the third act, where Lisa finally calls out Steve on all his bullshit and storms off. Truly feeling shame over how he's treated her all these years, he follows Lisa up on the rooftop to try to make amends with her and apologize. Their exchange?
