    https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/04/tim-cook-to-become-apple-executive-chairman-john-ternus-to-become-apple-ceo/?im_ref=TK2wOmzYxxyZR-cx3pSZE3LRUku3eORNyQqvQs0&sharedid=&irpid=27795&irgwc=1&afsrc=1

    Apple announced that Tim Cook will become executive chairman of Apple’s board of directors and John Ternus, senior vice president of Hardware Engineering, will become Apple’s next chief executive officer effective on September 1, 2026. The transition, which was approved unanimously by the Board of Directors, follows a thoughtful, long-term succession planning process.

    Cook will continue in his role as CEO through the summer as he works closely with Ternus on a smooth transition. As executive chairman, Cook will assist with certain aspects of the company, including engaging with policymakers around the world.

      Jobs died 15 years ago in October. That’s a long time to lead anything, especially for a non-founder.

        Cook's stewardship has been remarkable. Every phone since the 4S has been under his watch. And, speaking of watches...

        AppleTV has become a mainstream streaming platform with great content.

        Oh, he's also increased the value of Apple by at least a factor of eight.

          I got my first iPhone around the time jobs died. Within a month. It was a 4s or a 4. Can’t remember

              No, the BioNTech mRNA pancreatic cancer vaccine (autogene cevumeran, also known as BNT122 or RO7198457) would not have helped Steve Jobs. It targets a completely different subtype of pancreatic cancer than the one he had.
