Line 233: ===Resignation=== On January 17, 2011, a year and a half after Jobs returned to work following the liver transplant, Apple announced that he had been granted ~~a medical~~another leave of absence. Jobs announced his leave in a letter to employees, stating his decision was made "so he could focus on his health". As it did at the time of his 2009 medical leave, Apple announced that Tim Cook would run day-to-day operations and that Jobs would continue to be involved in major strategic decisions at the company.<ref>{{Cite news \|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/18/technology/18apple.html \|title=Apple Says Steve Jobs Will Take a New Medical Leave \|last=Helft \|first=Miguel \|date=January 17, 2010 \|work=[[The New York Times]] \|access-date=January 17, 2010 \|archive-date=March 18, 2017 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170318130535/http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/18/technology/18apple.html \|url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web \|url=http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/01/17/steve_jobs_to_take_medical_leave_of_absence_but_remain_apple_ceo.html \|title=Steve Jobs to take medical leave of absence but remain Apple CEO \|date=January 17, 2011 \|url-status=live \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120124100159/http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/01/17/steve_jobs_to_take_medical_leave_of_absence_but_remain_apple_ceo.html \|archive-date=January 24, 2012 }}</ref> While on leave, Jobs appeared at the [[iPad 2]] launch event on March 2, the [[WWDC]] keynote introducing [[iCloud]] on June 6, and before the Cupertino City Council on June 7.<ref>{{Cite news \|url=https://www.wired.com/epicenter/2011/06/cupertino-jobs-ufo-building/ \|title=Video: Jobs Pitches New 'Mothership' to Approving Cupertino City Council \|last=Abell \|first=John \|date=June 8, 2011 \|magazine=Wired \|access-date=June 9, 2011 \|url-status=live \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120114122458/http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2011/06/cupertino-jobs-ufo-building \|archive-date=January 14, 2012 }}</ref> On August 24, 2011, Jobs announced his resignation as Apple's CEO, writing to the board, "I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know.
