The email’s closing sentence is markedly less bullish than Jobs’ comments last time he took a leave of absence like this, though. “I love Apple so much and hope to be back as soon as I can.” The announcement appeared to be strategically timed on a public holiday in the US, and a day before Apple reveals what are expected to be storming Q4 financials.
