Apple’s chief executive Tim Cook offered his liver for a transplant to founder Steve Jobs but the proposal was rejected, a new book states.

The book said Mr Jobs reacted furiously to the offer to help extend his life when he was suffering from pancreatic cancer.

“He cut me off at the legs, almost before the words were out of my mouth,” said Mr Cook, according to the book, Becoming Steve Jobs, due to be released later this month.

Mr Cook quoted Mr Jobs as saying: “I’ll never let you do that. I’ll never do that”.

Mr Cook told the authors he was startled by Mr Jobs’s reaction to his offer, according to extracts of the book released by the magazine Fast Company.

“Somebody that’s selfish doesn’t reply like that,” he said.

“I said, ‘Steve, I’m perfectly healthy, I’ve been checked out. Here’s the medical report. I can do this and I’m not putting myself at risk’.”

“Steve only yelled at me four or five times during the 13 years I knew him, and this was one of them.”

The Apple co-founder later received a liver transplant in 2009. He died at the age of 56 in October 2011 after a long battle with cancer.
