The change is reflected on the company’s updated leadership page, where Ternus is now listed as CEO and Cook has moved to the Board of Directors section as the Executive Chair. Ternus’ appointment is anticipated to bring a more product-focused strategy to Apple, contrasting with Cook’s operational background.
The transition period is expected to unfold gradually, with Ternus scheduled to unveil the new iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra at Apple’s fall media event on September 9. The board of directors page has also been restructured; previously listing names only, it now includes profile headshots. In addition to Cook, the board comprises Arthur Levinson, Wanda Austin, Alex Gorsky, Andrea Jung, Monica Lozano, Ron Sugar, Sue Wagner, and John Ternus, who serves as CEO.
This transformation is captured in the updated leadership page, as illustrated in the accompanying screenshot. For further Apple updates, viewers can check out 9to5Mac on YouTube.
