Apple said on Monday that John Ternus is succeeding Tim Cook as CEO, with Cook assuming the role of executive chairman on Sept. 1.
“Cook will continue in his role as CEO through the summer as he works closely with Ternus on a smooth transition,” Apple said in a press release.
It’s the first CEO transition for Apple since Cook succeeded Steve Jobs at the helm in 2011, shortly before Jobs’ death.

Tim Apple is being replaced by John Apple?
CEOs work for Chairman.

Why? Are there any complaints against Tim Apple?
Getting a temu CEO. Nice
> Ternus, a senior vice president of hardware engineering, will join Apple’s board of directors when he becomes chief. Apple’s non-executive chairman Arthur Levinson will become the iPhone-maker’s lead independent director on that date.
Good. Apple is handing leadership to the hardware engineering side. Focus again on building great hardware.
Tim Cook absolutely knocked it out of the park with supply chain diversification, custom silicon development with M series chips etc, but the old apple magic of creating ground breaking hardware products need to come back.
Hope the new guy focuses on creating new, great hardware like old times.
That’s crazy that this post has so little upvotes
I’m surprised they didn’t pick Craig Federighi
Any word or thought on Apple’s AI adoption?
They are already great with hardware, but have serious work to do / catch up on AI.
They are smart not to get into the race of the LLMs but they need to adopt the technology meaningfully at some point.
Tim Apple no more
About time!
They really hired someone called John Temu as CEO
Look at Apple today! Every piece of hardware is more underwhelming than the last generation. It’s not ‘the Apple’ anymore.
