乔布斯在8月24日一封致苹果董事会和苹果社区的信中说,
我一直说过,当有一天我不再以CEO身份负责苹果时,我会第一个通知你们。不幸的是,这一天到了。
我在此辞去苹果CEO职位。如果董事会认为合适的话,我愿意继续担任董事会主席、董事、以及苹果雇员。
关于我的继任者,我强烈推荐我们执行继任方案,提名蒂姆·库克(Tim Cook)出任苹果公司CEO。
我相信,苹果会迎来更辉煌、更富创造性的未来。我期待着以一个新的角色亲眼目睹这一切,并为它的成功做出贡献。
在苹果,我结交了许多挚友。这些年能与你们共事,我谢谢你们大家。

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.
