Tim Cook Steps Down

Cook’s departure marks the end of an era defined by massive financial growth and supply chain mastery, particularly in China.

John Ternus, a 25-year veteran of the company, inherits a tech giant at a critical crossroads as it seeks to integrate artificial intelligence across its product line.

While Cook will remain as executive chairman, analysts are watching closely to see if Ternus can provide the product vision needed to catch up in the AI arms race.

The transition has been described as a 'CEO reckoning' sweeping through corporate America as legacy leaders make way for new strategies.
