Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt Resigned From Apple’s Board Of Directors 15 Years Ago Today; Steve Jobs Earlier Said That His Insights Will Be Invaluable
It might be hard to comprehend that the then-CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt, served as one of Apple’s board members. However, his tenure was cut short abruptly on August 3, exactly 15 years ago, when he resigned from his position, as there were growing tensions caused by iOS and Google’s Android platform. Schmidt departed two years after Steve Jobs officially unveiled Apple’s first-ever iPhone.
