Apple har i ett pressmeddelande meddelat att Steve Jobs är sjukskriven igen utan att ange något datum när han kommer tillbaka till Apple. Han är dock fortfarande CEO och kommer att medverka vid större strategiska beslut. Som vid förra sjukskrivningen är det Tim Cook som tar över.

–(BUSINESS WIRE)–January 17, 2011–
Apple CEO Steve Jobs today sent the following email to all Apple employees:
Team,
At my request, the board of directors has granted me a medical leave of absence so I can focus on my health. I will continue as CEO and be involved in major strategic decisions for the company.
I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for all of Apple’s day to day operations. I have great confidence that Tim and the rest of the executive management team will do a terrific job executing the exciting plans we have in place for 2011.
I love Apple so much and hope to be back as soon as I can. In the meantime, my family and I would deeply appreciate respect for our privacy.
Steve
