Apple has appointed John Ternus as its next chief executive, ending Tim Cook's 15-year leadership run. Ternus, 51, currently head of hardware engineering, will take over on September 1, 2026. Cook, 65, will become executive chairman after guiding Apple to a $4 trillion market cap and growing annual revenue from $108 billion to over $416 billion. The timing of Cook's departure surprised analysts, as he publicly dismissed retirement talk just last month. Ternus inherits challenges including Apple's slow progress in generative AI, delayed Siri improvements, and Vision Pro's market struggles.
