| To the Apple Board of Directors and the Apple Community: |
致蘋果董事會(huì)及蘋果社區(qū)： |
| 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. |
我曾經(jīng)說過，如果有一天我不再能履行作為蘋果CEO的職責(zé)和期望，我會(huì)是第一個(gè)告訴你們知道的人。不幸的是，這一天到來了。 |
| 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. |
在此，我宣布從蘋果CEO的職位上辭職，如果董事會(huì)同意，我將擔(dān)任蘋果董事會(huì)主席。 |
| As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple. |
針對(duì)接任者，我強(qiáng)烈建議執(zhí)行我們制定的接任計(jì)劃，提名蒂姆·庫(kù)克為蘋果CEO。 |
| 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. |
我相信，蘋果的未來將更加光明，更具創(chuàng)造力。我期待未來蘋果的成功，也將為此盡自己的綿薄之力。 |

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
