Snippet: Jim Dalrymple: I Am Retiring ☇

Jim Dalrymple:

This is the most difficult, but at the same time, the most exciting story I have ever written. After almost 30 years of reporting on Apple, I am retiring.

I guess the biggest question is what happens to The Loop. Daily posts will stop, but the site will remain online, and we’ll use it to host The Dalrymple Report podcast, which Dave and I have decided to keep going. I may be officially retired, but I still have things to say and opinions to give.

Over the past couple of years, I have taken time to address issues in my personal life. In that time, I realized that there is so much more to life than work—I’ll be honest, that revelation came as a massive shock to me, but I couldn’t be happier.

I always appreciated Jim’s work, going back to my much younger years of following Apple and wondering if the company would even be around. People like him have made me want to get into doing a site like this, even if it ended up being a side-hobby. Thank you!
