Apple has officially announced that Steve Jobs is stepping down as CEO of Apple. Tim Cook will take his place. The iconic figurehead of Apple is retiring from being CEO of the company but he will stay on the Board of Directors as Chairman. A big change for Apple here in the middle of this war with cell phones, tablets, computers and patents. Investors have felt confident in investing in Apple because of the popularity and public figure Steve Jobs is. I wonder how they will react. His official letter of Resignation and Apple's PR statement below.

Steve Jobs Resignation Letter:

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.

Steve
