Enligt CNBC så har Apple gått ut med att Steve Jobs kommer att ta en paus från Apple från och med nu till och med juni. Anledningen är de hälsoskäl som vi berättat om tidigare som den senaste veckan inte har blivit bättre utan snarare sämre.
Tim Cook kommer att ta över den dagliga driften av bolaget. Steve själv säger att han kommer att vara delaktig i större strategiska beslut om bolaget.

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
