Apple will continue to take advantage of Jony's talent by working directly with him on exclusive products and through the excellent and passionate design team he has built. After so many years of close cooperation, I am happy that our relationship continues to evolve and I look forward to continuing it for many years to come.

The team will continue to grow and dominate under the excellent leadership of Evans, Alan and Jeff, who are my closest collaborators. I have the utmost confidence in my colleagues at Apple, who remain my closest friends and I look forward to continuing to work with them for many years to come.

The standard statements we have been waiting for at this stage, but only time will tell what this departure means for Apple's evolution and what the company's partnership with LoveFrom will mean. What is certain is that we have an end to an era in this area for Apple…
