Tim Cook’s farewell memo to Apple employees reportedly leaks online
Former Apple CEO Tim Cook shared a goodbye memo to Apple employees, and of course, it's broken containment.
On Tuesday morning, Apple's leadership has changed significantly with the appointment of John Ternus as the new CEO. The transition was swift, and the previous CEO, Tim Cook, had already vacated his position by September 1st. Cook, who took over from Steve Jobs, left a farewell message for Apple employees that was leaked to the public.
In the memo, Cook expressed his pride in Apple's unique company culture, which he believed was the most important aspect of the company, beyond the products they built. He reiterated Apple's mission: to create products that make a positive impact on the world and leave it better than they found it.
Cook also quoted Steve Jobs, who famously said, "We have made it possible to leave our dent in the universe" because of Apple's values and beliefs. Cook thanked his employees for their dedication and hard work, and he felt confident in the new CEO's ability to lead the company: "I could not be more excited for John's leadership."
The memo is similar in tone to a message Cook previously shared via Twitter, which is no longer available. Apple's first major announcement under Ternus' leadership will be the unveiling of the iPhone 18 lineup, which is scheduled for next week. Interested readers can access the full memo on 9to5Mac.
