Jobs quitte Apple.

En tout cas la gestion quotidienne, jusqu’à fin juin.

Dans un mail envoyé à ses collaborateurs, Steve Jobs, CEO d’Apple Inc, déclare se mettre en retrait pour une durée de 6 mois pour raisons de santé qui seraient “plus complexe que ce qu’il pensait à l’origine” et qui influent un peu trop (ah bon ?) sur la vie quotidienne d’Apple.

L’intérim sera assurée non pas par Phil Schiller comme on aurait pu le penser, mais par Tim Cook, qui a était sous le Spotlight lors de la présentation des MacBook Unibody.

So long, Steve, and take care.

Team,

I am sure all of you saw my letter last week sharing something very personal with the Apple community. Unfortunately, the curiosity over my personal health continues to be a distraction not only for me and my family, but everyone else at Apple as well. In addition, during the past week I have learned that my health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought.

In order to take myself out of the limelight and focus on my health, and to allow everyone at Apple to focus on delivering extraordinary products, I have decided to take a medical leave of absence until the end of June.

I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for Apple’s day to day operations, and I know he and the rest of the executive management team will do a great job. As CEO, I plan to remain involved in major strategic decisions while I am out. Our board of directors fully supports this plan.

I look forward to seeing all of you this summer.

Steve
