Steve Jobs may have technically resigned as CEO, but according to Walt Mossberg, Jobs is still in charge at Apple, and his position at Cupertino will largely remain “unchanged.”
Citing “extremely well-informed sources at Apple,” Mossberg says:
Extremely well-informed sources at Apple say he intends to remain involved in developing major future products and strategy and intends to be an active chairman of the board, even while new CEO Tim Cook runs the company day to day.
In other words, even though Cook will be handling the day-by-day operations, it’s Steve Jobs who will still be plotting Apple’s future through product design and strategy.
Sounds to us like all Steve Jobs “resigned” from was the boring parts of the job of being CEO.
