Who is John Ternus, the new Apple CEO?
Starting on September 1, Ternus will lead one of the world's most valuable companies, but if you're not a dedicated Apple enthusiast, you've probably never heard of this man, who has largely remained out of the spotlight until now.
John Ternus has been named the new CEO of Apple, following the retirement of Tim Cook after 15 years at the helm. Ternus, who has been with the company for 25 years, assumed the role as Apple prepares to unveil its latest iPhone lineup and introduce its upgraded AI capabilities, powered by Google's Gemini. In his farewell message to staff, Cook praised Ternus's ability to build products that "change the world."
Ternus, 51, has held the senior vice president of hardware engineering position for the past 20 years and has been involved in various significant projects, including the MacBook Neo and the transition from Intel chips to Apple silicon. He emphasized the importance of humility in leadership during his commencement speech at the University of Pennsylvania.
Apple, a company known for its iconic hardware, is now looking to Ternus to navigate the challenges of the AI race and the future of its groundbreaking Vision Pro product.
