Tim Cook’s final day as Apple CEO has arrived. After 15 years leading Apple, Cook is stepping down as CEO and handing the company over to longtime hardware engineering chief John Ternus.
Cook will remain at Apple as executive chairman, but September 1 marks the beginning of a completely new era for the company. In this video, we break down Tim Cook’s reported farewell message to Apple employees, his goodbye to the Apple community, and what John Ternus taking over as CEO could mean for the future of Apple.
Ternus inherits one of the most successful companies in history, but he also takes over at a critical moment. Apple is facing increasing pressure in artificial intelligence as competitors like Google, Microsoft, Meta and Amazon invest heavily in AI.
We also look at Apple’s upcoming Gemini-powered Siri, the foldable iPhone, smart glasses, camera-equipped AirPods, smart home devices and the rumored future product pipeline that could define the next decade of Apple.
Can John Ternus lead Apple into the AI era and continue Tim Cook’s legacy? We may find out sooner than expected.
