Apple Names Hardware Chief John Ternus as New CEO, Tim Cook to Become Executive Chairman

Apple announced that CEO Tim Cook will step down in September and be succeeded by hardware engineering chief John Ternus. Cook will remain involved as executive chairman of the board.

Apple announced on April 20th that Tim Cook will officially step down from his position as CEO on September 1st of this year. Current hardware engineering senior vice president John Ternus will take over on the same day, becoming Apple's third CEO. Cook served as Apple's CEO for fourteen years, leading the company's market capitalization to break through $3 trillion. After stepping down, he will remain on Apple's board of directors as executive chairman, participating in the company's major strategic decision-making. Ternus is 51 years old this year and joined Apple in 2001. He has successively led R&D efforts on core products including iPhone and AirPods. Analysts believe this leadership succession signals Apple's official acceleration toward the artificial intelligence era. Apple's stock price remained basically stable after the announcement, with the market maintaining an overall positive attitude toward this personnel arrangement.
