Tim Cook wrote a letter on his last day as Apple CEO

Today, August 31, 2026, is Tim Cook's last working day as Apple CEO before officially transferring this position to John Ternus tomorrow. Reading technology news all day today, the thing that caught my attention the most was the internal letter that Tim Cook just sent to all Apple employees. A farewell letter is not a big deal, but shows gratitude, humility and absolute faith in the future. I'll completely translate every sentence for you all to read. -------‐--------‐-------‐-------‐ "To the entire team, Today is my last day as CEO of Apple. This is a moment that I always knew would one day come, yet I still find it hard to believe that the moment has come and I am sitting here writing these words. I love this company and the team behind it. I cannot let this day pass without sending a message to you, expressing my profound gratitude for the great love you have shown me, for the dedication you show each day, and most of all, for the lifelong privilege of being your leader. The truth is, no matter what people say about my successes, I know it all belongs to you. It is you who have helped me bring out the best in me. In my entire life, I have never seen or been with such an extraordinary group, and every day I witness more proof of that.
