Apple says Steve Jobs resigning as CEO

SAN FRANCISCO — Steve Jobs, the mind behind the iPhone, iPad and other devices that turned Apple Inc. into one of the world’s most pow­er­ful com­pa­nies, resigned as the company’s CEO on Wednes­day, say­ing he can no longer han­dle the job. The move appears to be the result of an unspec­i­fied med­ical con­di­tion for which he took an indef­i­nite leave from his post in Jan­u­ary. Apple’s chief oper­at­ing offi­cer, Tim Cook, has been named CEO.
