Efter flere års kamp frem og tilbage med sin kræftsygdom, hvor han flere gange har måttet tage pauser fra sin chefpost hos Apple, har Steve Jobs nu valgt endegyldigt at stoppe som direktør hos teknologigiganten, som han selv stiftede tilbage i 1976 sammen med Steve Wozniak.
Jobs har selv valgt at annoncere, han træder tilbage via en pressemeddelelse, hvor han skriver følgende:
"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 Jobs, Apple
Som Jobs selv foreslår, så er Tim Cook blevet annonceret som arvtager for Jobs. Cook har tidligere vikarieret for Jobs i længere perioder, imens han har været sygemeldt.
