Apple Names John Ternus Next CEO

John Ternus, a 25-year veteran of Apple, has been officially named the successor to Tim Cook, marking a shift back to a product-focused leader.

Ternus currently serves as the Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering and has been a key architect of the iPhone, iPad, and Mac lines.

The transition comes as Apple faces increasing pressure to accelerate its artificial intelligence strategy and navigate complex trade relations with China.

Cook will remain with the company as executive chairman, focusing on corporate diplomacy and long-term strategy.
