Lennon, who had worked on several solo projects in the final years of The Beatles, had planned to leave the group first. But Paul McCartney beat him to the punch in early 1970, which displeased Lennon. John continued working on his own projects, including "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band," released in December 1970.
Lennon did leave the group first, as McCartney admitted in later years. Lennon refused to participate in any further recordings with the Beatles, after the completion of Abbey Road. (This included the January 1970 session for "I Me Mine", and touch-up sessions that completed Let It Be.) Lennon agreed not to announce his departure, because the Beatles were in critical negotiations with EMI for a royalty increase, and knowledge that the Beatles were breaking up would have hurt their bargaining position.
McCartney made his announcement after the Beatles had won their royalty increase, and as his first solo album was coming out; that is what displeased Lennon. He told Rolling Stone"I was a fool not to do what Paul did, which was use it to sell a record."

Was john Lennon disapointed when the beatles broke up?
At the time of their break-up John was not disappointed that the Beatles had broken up as he resented all of the insinuations and blame that the other members had towards Yuko Ono and how (they believed) she had influenced John Lennon negatively towards the group. However, John Lennon was disappointed that his friendship with the members of the Beatles was damaged with each member carrying around hurt and resentment. After their breakup there were lawsuits concerning the royalties, from both the music and publishing rights, which added to the anger/resentment. There is no doubt that John Lennon cared for each member of the Beatles and that each member played a pivotal role in the dissolution of the Beatles. Fortunately, they left behind years of exceptional music including their own Solo recordings. GREAT QUESTION by the way.
