Steve Jobs正式辭任Apple CEO，並擔任董事會主席，CEO職位由Tim Cook接任

稍早Steve Jobs正式辭任Apple CEO（執行長）職位，並且同時推派現任營運長Tim Cook接任，不過之後Steve Jobs將以董事長一職繼續為Apple提供他獨特的見解、創意與靈感。

以下為Steve Jobs的辭職信全文：
CUPERTINO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–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.

我一直說，如果有一天我再也無法勝任Apple CEO的職責與期待，我會第一個讓你們知道。不幸的是，這一天到了。

在此，我辭去Apple CEO的職務。如果董事會覺得適合的話，我將樂意繼續擔任董事會主席、董事以及Apple的員工。

至於我的繼任者，我強烈建議執行我們的繼任計劃，提名Tim Cook擔任Apple CEO。

我相信Apple最光輝、最有創意的日子就在眼前。我也期待看到、並以新的角色來促使它成功。

我在Apple的日子讓我得到了一些在生命中最好的朋友，我也感謝所有人，能在這些年裡與大家一同工作。

Steve
