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 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.

　　Steve
