Steve Jobs resigns as Apple CEO

Steve-Job-Apple
Apple's CEO Steve Jobs has regined. Steve will still remain at Apple as the chairman of the board. Tim Cook, COO of Apple will succeed Steve Jobs as CEO of Apple.


Nobody else could have done what Steve did for Apple. During his tenure Apple reached new heights. Some of the most significant things that happened to Apple during this time were launch of iPod, iTunes, iPhone and iPad.

Here is the Letter from Steve Jobs

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.

Steve
