"An era is over," Jobs said.

Figure/CFP (reporter Lin Chiling) jobs remained Apple's spiritual leader, but Apple, investors and fans had to get used to the absence of jobs at Apple.　　Godfather Jobs stepped down yesterday as CEO of Apple, the industry review said, "an era is over." The Apple board announced yesterday that the 56-year-old Apple boss Steve Jobs announced his resignation as CEO of Apple's board of directors, COO Tim Cook, who took over the CEO's scepter from jobs.　　Apple did not specify the reason for the change, but industry speculation that the resignation may be due to jobs ' poor health. "I once said that if I were not able to fulfill my duties and expectations as CEO of Apple one day, I would be the first one to tell you," Mr. Jobs said in his resignation letter. Unfortunately, the day has come. "Steve Jobs is Apple's creator and Apple's soul. In 1976, 21-year-old Steve Jobs and his 26-year-old friend, Wozniak, set up Apple in the garage and made the world's first personal computer "Apple I", and Apple soon became famous in the IT industry. Jobs were kicked out of Apple in 1985, when the computer industry was generally depressed.　　Then Apple plunged into a financial crisis, and in 1996 Mr. Jobs returned to Apple and became CEO. For the next 15 years, Apple's new product, led by Mr. Jobs, sparked a wave of consumer-market frenzy. The Mac redefined the PC, the ipod changed the music industry, the iphone rewrote the phone market, and the ipad triggered a tablet frenzy.　　Apple turned into a magical company, and jobs became godfather to Apple, deeply affecting the times.　　Apple's entry into the Cook era Tim Cook was the successor he had chosen personally. The 51-Year-old Cook worked for 12 years as head of North America in the IBM PC executive.　　In 2004, 2009 and 2011, three times in the period of his illness, Mr. Jobs took the role of CEO, January 2007 was promoted to COO. As COO, Cook is responsible for the company's global sales and operations, including end-to-end supply chain management, global market after-sales service, and he is also responsible for Apple's Mac department.　　Mr. Cook's strength is said to be supply chain management, which has helped Apple shut down its factories and warehouses around the world, reduce its inventory levels and improve its supply chain, making an important contribution to boosting corporate profits. People familiar with Apple's day-to-day operations say that, like other senior executives, Cook understands jobs ' ideas and sets a roadmap for the next few years.　　Although the successor's ability to manage is not inferior, but the industry believes that after the formal takeover of Apple, Cook will face many problems. Jobs ' health has been a red light in recent years, as Jobs ' health has been linked. Jobs was found to have been on sick leave for the first time in 2004 for pancreatic cancer. 5 years later, Jobs took his second sick leave for liver movement.Apple's shares fell by more than 20% during surgery.　　This January, jobs once again announced sick leave for health problems. After news of Mr. Jobs's resignation, Wang Yinggang, author of Jobs, said Mr. Jobs ' big decision was a thoughtful one, and that the timing was good at every decision. "What worries me most now is Jobs ' health," he said. The most probable cause of Steve Jobs ' failure to give up his CEO title on every sick leave is still the health factor. "At this moment, I don't care about Apple, I don't care about cook, I don't care about the stock price, I don't care about the iphone, I don't care about the ipad, I don't care about the Mac, I don't care about iOS, I don't care about Microsoft, Google, Nokia, HTC How to disguise the blessing of woe, I only care about a person's health, I sincerely hope that he can overcome pancreatic cancer, more than the life of the Jie more time, not disturbed, not be teased, with family, and Apple has nothing to do. "Mr Jobs has actually realised that his presence is a huge bottleneck for the company," said Yi, China Mobile's Internet Industry Alliance. "He's in bad health and will leave sooner or later." Instead of waiting for the body to completely collapse away, it is better to fade out when the body is still available. This can also escort the successor for a period of time. I think it's a wise choice.　　"Jobs ' resignation letter to Apple's board of directors and the Apple community: I always say that if one day I can no longer fulfill the duties of Apple's CEO and meet the expectations, I will let you know first."　　It's a pity that the day has come. Here, I resigned from the post of Apple CEO.　　If the board thinks fit, I will continue to serve Apple as Chairman, director and employee.　　With regard to my successor, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and appoint Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.　　I believe Apple will usher in the brightest and most innovative future, and I want to see Apple's success and contribute to it with a new role. Some of my life has been met at Apple, I have been working with you for so many years, I thank you. ——— Steve
