I guess I'm in the minority but I don't see this as being very interesting. To me a biography serves two purposes: To accurately tell the story of someone's life and to give you insight into their thought process
On the first point let me say Steve Jobs is a great man in many respects. But tolerating dissent is not one of them. He's actively worked to destroy not only authors but publishing companies that have dared say anything even slightly negative about him (iCon was 90% positive). So an authorized biography of Steve Jobs is next to useless as an accurate account of his life.
On the second point he isn't writing this or helping in the writing of it. He's simply giving his permission and sitting down for an interview. Having read several thousand pages of Jobs interviews over the years I don't see how this one will be special.
