Steve Jobs Resigns – Tim Cook is Apple CEO

Steve Jobs announced on Wednesday that he has resigned as chief executive of Apple Inc. His position will be given to COO and longtime heir apparent Tim Cook.

“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,” he said in a brief letter announcing his resignation.

“Investors are very comfortable with Tim Cook even though Jobs has been a driver of innovation and clearly an Apple success. Tim has shown Apple can still outperform extremely well when he’s been acting as CEO,” said Cross Research analyst Shannon Cross.
