Walt Disney Co.'s Chief Executive Robert Iger resigned from
Apple Inc.'s board of directors, the tech giant said on Friday,
severing a yearslong connection between the two companies as they
prepare to launch competing video-streaming services.
He resigned on Tuesday, Apple said in a one-sentence filing to
securities regulators.
Mr. Iger, who has led Disney since 2005, joined Apple's board in
2012 and was serving as the nominating-committee chair and on the
compensation committee. He had a close relationship with Apple
co-founder Steve Jobs, born out of the 2006 sale of Pixar Animation
Studios to Disney. Mr. Jobs was Pixar's chairman.
