Tim Cook, the current COO, will become CEO effective immediately.</p> <p>Steve Jobs provided the following resignation letter:</p> <blockquote><p>To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community:</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.</p> <p>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. </p> <p>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.</p> <p>Steve</p></blockquote> <p>We wish Steve the absolute best.</p> <p>You can read more on <a href="http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2011/08/24Steve-Jobs-Resigns-as-CEO-of-Apple.html">Apple’s press release</a>.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/eJule6AGFdVJQAuv1Jg9u2V8JXs/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/eJule6AGFdVJQAuv1Jg9u2V8JXs/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/eJule6AGFdVJQAuv1Jg9u2V8JXs/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/eJule6AGFdVJQAuv1Jg9u2V8JXs/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=8aIR8sMnmkk:BCbB5SqJ9zc:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=8aIR8sMnmkk:BCbB5SqJ9zc:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=8aIR8sMnmkk:BCbB5SqJ9zc:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=8aIR8sMnmkk:BCbB5SqJ9zc:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=8aIR8sMnmkk:BCbB5SqJ9zc:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=8aIR8sMnmkk:BCbB5SqJ9zc:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=8aIR8sMnmkk:BCbB5SqJ9zc:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/8aIR8sMnmkk" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
