Steve Jobs' new biography is coming this month, and it delves a lot more into the private life of Jobs and his relationships with some of the tech industry's leaders, including Disney CEO Bob Iger.

In one part, it details how Iger was offered a seat on Google's board by CEO Larry Page, co-founder Sergey Brin and Chairman Eric Schmidt, but Jobs persuaded Iger to decline the seat because Jobs "would have gotten jealous".

In 2011, Iger joined Apple's board, which he couldn't do before due to fiduciary reasons.

It's interesting to think about the progress in the TV and film industry Google might have been able to achieve with Iger on board, but this offer came at a time where Jobs was preparing "thermonuclear war" against Google over Android.

Even if Google CEO Larry Page managed to settle things with Jobs before he passed away, meeting with him to discuss the future and how to grow a company, it was definitely a hard time for the two companies.

Since Jobs' death, Apple has been dropping some of its battles with Google and Google's partners, including the fight against Samsung, which has raged on for over half a decade.

Iger's close relationship with Jobs seems to have extended to Apple itself, and the new internet TV service Apple is working on will have all of the Disney channels onboard.

The first meeting between Jobs and Iger was back in the 1990s when Disney partnered with Pixar to create animated movies. Jobs owned Pixar at the time but couldn't afford to keep the company running and sold it to Disney in 2006 for $7.4 billion.

 Jobs became the largest shareholder of Disney stock, now owned by Laurene Powell Jobs, Steve Jobs' widow.
