Steve Jobs is still around, he’s just working from home. Three weeks after temporarily turning the company’s reigns over to COO Tim Cook, Apple’s founder’s is still playing an integral part in the running of the company–according to The Wall Street Journal‘s usual roundup of anonymous sources.
Apple PR confirmed Jobs’s continued role within the company, stating, “Steve is the CEO of Apple and during his medical leave he’ll continue to be involved in major strategic decisions.”
Jobs, 55, took leave of the company in mid-January, citing unspecified reasons. The executive has been plagued by health concerns for the past, having undergone treatment for pancreatic cancer and a liver transplant.
In spite of his most recent absence, Jobs has been spotted on Apple’s Cupertino campus in the past few weeks.
