Apple has entered a new era with Tim Cook stepping down as CEO and handing the reins to former hardware chief John Ternus. Ternus, who took over before he even had a chance to settle in, promised a "huge launch next week" which puts the company's next iPhone event in his hands. Cook, however, is not leaving the company just yet, as he will continue to serve as Executive Chairman, focusing on policy relationships that have made even small decisions like map labels a public balancing act.
This transition raises the question of what the Ternus era will look like and how much support shareholders will provide him as he navigates this new role. On the latest episode of TechCrunch's Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec and Sean O'Kane discuss what Ternus is taking on, whether he might have an advantage in the software side of the AI era, and other recent news updates.
The podcast can be found on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Spotify, and other platforms, with the show's page also available on X and Threads.
