[quote] 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.[/quote]
Il giorno è giunto, Steve Jobs lascia le redini della Apple.
A sostituirlo Tim Cook, che già durante le precedenti assenze per motivi di salute era diventato il facente funzioni.
A seguito della notizia il titolo dell’azienda di Cupertino sembra aver già perso il 4% del proprio valore, e probabilmente continuerà a calare nei prossimi giorni.
Indubbiamente la fine di un’epoca, ma come potete leggere dalla mail Jobs non sparirà dalla scena, semplicemente si sta tirando indietro da un’incarico che ormai stava gravando pesantemente sulle sue spalle.
Vedremo nei prossimmi giorni quali saranno le reazioni della Apple e dei loro concorrenti.
