John Ternus to lead Apple

After nearly 15 years at the helm, Tim Cook is stepping down, handing the reins of the world's most valuable company to a 25-year Apple veteran.

John Ternus, known for his calm management style and deep engineering background, faces the immediate challenge of proving Apple can still innovate in the age of generative AI. Cook will transition into a global ambassador role, focusing on the company's delicate relationships with Washington and Beijing.

Investors are closely watching to see if Ternus will deliver the next transformational device to follow the iPhone's legacy.
