Alors que Steve Jobs vient à peine d'annoncer son départ d'Apple pour d'évidentes raisons de santé (il est atteint depuis 2004 d'un cancer du Pancréas), la presse quotidienne américaine s'interroge sur les capacités de Tim Cook, le numéro 2 d'Apple, pour gérer le développement et l'arrivée de nouveaux produits à la pomme sur le marché du High Tech.
A 56 ans, Jobs laisse derrière lui une entreprise florissante, innovante et dotée d'une capitalisation boursière importante : 346 milliards de dollars. Pour le New York Times, Jobs reste la tête pensante de l'entreprise "le génie de la conception et de la création high tech. La boite à idées du numérique". L'arrivée prochaine de l'iPhone 5 et de l'iPad 3 sont des purs produits de l'ancien patron d'Apple qui a toujours dit que l'avenir de la pomme était dans des cartons bien remplis. Selon le San Jose Mercury News, Jobs gardera un œil sur l'avenir d'Apple... Mais pour combien de temps ?
La lettre de Steve Jobs
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.
Steve
