I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.
As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.
I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.
I Agree with DevTheGreat im Kind of Glad that he has resigned because Tim Cook will Probably Have different ideas to Steve And Might make the company Better or Better ideas for products
It's sure gonna be interesting to see what Tim Cook can bring to the table, considering Jobs was the driving force behind the iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad :p
