The US Postal Service is reportedly giving a fitting tribute to late Apple founder Steve Jobs by taking out stamps with the icon's picture beginning in 2015.

Jobs, known as pioneer of the personal computer revolution, headed the technology giant apart from Pixar Animation Studios and founded NeXT Inc.

According to The Verge, other deceased icons receiving their own stamps that year include Elvis Presley and famed Tonight Show host Johnny Carson.

Since 1957, US postage stamp subjects have been selected by an advisory committee of ordinary citizens, who look for suggestions that are 'contemporary, timely, relevant, interesting and educational', the report added.
