Tim Cook is likely to step down as Apple’s CEO
According to Bloomberg, John Ternus, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, is expected to take over.
Bloomberg notes that Apple now likely needs an engineer rather than a sales or operations specialist. While the company expanded significantly under Cook’s leadership, it has struggled to break into new tech categories such as virtual reality, generative AI, smart home devices, and autonomous vehicles.
Ternus reportedly stands out among other potential successors. After stepping down, Cook may remain as chairman of Apple’s board — a path previously taken by leaders like Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
So will @Apple allow users to use the hardware we paid for to run @Jack's awesome #Bitchat invention or are the @EU_Commission and @FTC going to have to apply force?
