Ternus takes the reins at Apple
Today is John Ternus' first day as CEO of Apple. After 15 years at the top job, Tim Cook stepped aside yesterday with an emotional memo to Apple staff. Cook wrote that he had experienced "the privilege of a lifetime serving as your leader."
Cook, who took over from Apple's late co-founder, Steve Jobs, told the company's staff he took “enormous comfort in handing the helm to someone as brilliant and wonderful and capable” as Ternus.
The new CEO, who was promoted from senior vice president of Hardware Engineering, will have his first true test next week when he presents Apple's upcoming "Surprise and shine" iPhone 18 Pro event.
Cook also bid farewell in a public tweet yesterday, thanking Apple's global community for the inspiration it gave him.
Sending lots of love to the Apple community on my last day as CEO. My title changes tomorrow, but the love I have for the Apple community never will. Thank you for being a constant source of inspiration. My gratitude is endless, and I’m excited for the next chapter!August 31, 2026
