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.

This will be an awesome campus, can’t wait!
Fujian Tulou (福建土樓) is “the most extraordinary type of Chinese rural dwellings” of the Hakka and others in the mountainous areas in southeastern Fujian, China. They were mostly built between the 12th and the 20th centuries.
While everyone is exciting about ARC at Moscone Center today, Jobs presents the new Apple Campus design to the Cupertino City Council.
And Apple wants to break ground next year (2012), and move-in in 2015.
CAN’T WAIT.
P.S. The new campus is designed by Norman Foster and partners (who also designed the Gherkin), though the design is not new to us.
