End of the Cook era: Apple has a new CEO for the first time in 15 years

Apple's top job has changed hands for the first time in 15 years, with John Ternus succeeding Tim Cook, the man who built the iPhone maker into a wildly successful tech giant.

Apple has a new CEO, John Ternus, who took over from Tim Cook on Tuesday, marking the first change in leadership in 15 years. According to CBS News, this change occurred on Tuesday, though no specific date was given in other reports. Ternus, previously Vice President of Hardware Engineering, now leads the tech giant that has grown significantly under Cook's tenure.

The company's value skyrocketed to $4.6 trillion, as reported by both the South China Morning Post and Associated Press, thanks largely to the iPhone's popularity. Ternus faces challenges, including keeping Apple competitive in artificial intelligence, navigating supply chain issues, and managing relationships with key figures.

Ternus has a background in hardware engineering and previously discussed developments for the iPad Pro, as noted by the Associated Press. The company has recently unveiled new artificial intelligence advances, including upgrades to its Siri assistant, emphasizing a focus on privacy and day-to-day use.
