Steve Jobs’ Resignation & Death
When Apple started the decade, Steve Jobs was at the helm. The Apple co-founder and CEO was largely responsible for turning Apple’s fate around. But, more than that, Jobs was an iconic figure in the tech industry and pretty much central to everything that Apple did and stood for.
Jobs resigned as Apple’s CEO in August 2011, leaving Tim Cook as his hand-picked successor. Jobs died six weeks later. His death, as you might expect, hit Apple — and the entire tech industry — like a cataclysm. But all these years later, Jobs’ legacy still looms over Apple. And while we’re now in what’s thought of as the “post-Jobs” era, Apple is undoubtedly still Apple.
