PRESS RELEASE: Letter from Steve Jobs

August 24, 2011–

To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:

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.

But he doesn't resign from apple so it probably makes minuscule changes in the company, aside from Tim Cook having more power.

Steve Jobless, anyone?

He's leaving because he's dying of cancer.

 

[FireCat]

He's leaving because he's dying of cancer.

Yeah, that's why it's not surprising he resigns.

 

[ElderKingpin]

Itll be the same thing as when bill gates left CEO of Microsoft, nothing will happen, and i still think hes going to do WWDCs and announcing products at exhibitions.

He's leaving because he's dying of cancer.

Doubt it. He looks fine and he says he's looking forward to watching the progression of the company.

Doubt it. He looks fine and he says he's looking forward to watching the progression of the company.

You look forward to anything when you have cancer

 

[Blackveiled]

Doubt it. He looks fine and he says he's looking forward to watching the progression of the company.

He's resigning due to health issues, look it up.

Doesn't necessarily mean he's dying. Not in the short term anyway. Everyone dies eventually.

One of my quotes go:

He will probably be the first one like in Futurama that has his head still alive in a Glass Jar.

He's had pancreatic cancer since 2004. Most people die of pancreatic cancer within the year.

I saw a picture of him today. Looked really bad. Probably does not have long left.
