这一神秘的资讯刺激了大众对乔布斯健康状况的推测。2011年8月24日，苹果CEO卸任于1976他在车库中建立的公司。

On the day Job's announced his resignation, Apple board member Art Levinson, chairman of Genentech, issued the following statement on behalf of the Apple board: “Steve's extraordinary vision and leadership saved Apple and guided it to its position as the world's most innovative and valuable technology company. Steve has made countless contributions to Apple's success, and he has attracted and inspired Apple's immensely creative employees and world class executive team.”
