給蘋果董事會和蘋果公司：
我一直都說，如果有一天當我已不能再作為蘋果執行長履行職責和滿足人們對我的期望，我將首先告訴你們。不幸的是，這一天真的來了。
在此，我宣布辭去蘋果執行長職務。如果董事會認為合適的話，我想擔任董事長，或者董事甚至普通職員都可以。
至於我的繼任者，我強烈建議實施我們已定的繼任計畫，並提名蒂姆·庫克擔任蘋果CEO。
我認為，蘋果最光明和最具創新力的日子還在後頭。我期待著在新的崗位上看護蘋果的成功並為此做出貢獻。
在蘋果我交了一些生命中最好的朋友，我要感謝多年來與我共同努力的所有人。
史蒂夫·賈伯斯

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.
