Scriptwriter Aaron Sorkin had confirmed that Bale, 40, was attached to play Jobs in the film to be directed by Danny Boyle, reported a major website.
"We needed the best actor on the board in a certain range and that's Christian Bale," he had said, adding Bale did not have to audition to get the part.
However, the actor apparently felt the role was not right for him and decided to exit before the movie begins shooting this winter.
It's rather abrupt because Boyle was scheduled to meet the cast this week to talk about the movie. It is not yet clear whether Bale's withdrawal will affect the rest of the casting.
Seth Rogen is still in talks to play the role of Steve Wozniak, but a deal is yet to be struck.
Leonardo DiCaprio was considered for the role of Jobs but he quit earlier this year due to scheduling conflict.
