'I don't think we ever lost innovation': New Apple CEO John Ternus defends Apple's track record as his first September launch comes to a close
In one of his first interviews as CEO of Apple, John Ternus tells TechRadar that he doesn't believe the tech giant ever lost sight of its roots in innovative engineering and technology. Do you agree?
Apple's newly appointed CEO, John Ternus, has already sparked debate since taking the helm just a fortnight ago. Following the highly anticipated September event, where the iPhone Duo was unveiled, Ternus made a statement in an interview that sheds light on his stance on innovation at Apple. When asked about his plans to reinvigorate Apple's image when it comes to innovation, Ternus resolutely asserted: "I don't think we ever lost innovation."
Despite the competition, Ternus makes it clear that Apple has been innovative under the leadership of Tim Cook. The list of advancements is impressive, ranging from Apple silicon chips introduced in 2021 to Touch ID (2013), Face ID (2017), and the first over-the-counter direct-to-consumer ECG in the Apple Watch Series 4 (2018). Even though innovation may have slowed in recent times, excluding the recently introduced Vision Pro, Ternus maintains that Apple has remained a force to be reckoned with.
Ternus' brief but impactful response has generated mixed reactions from tech enthusiasts. While some argue that true product-level innovation has been lacking at Apple for years, others remain optimistic about Ternus' leadership in steering the company through challenges such as a global pandemic and hardware supply chain issues.
The future of Apple under Ternus' guidance remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain: the tech giant continues to thrive with a strong set of products, a devoted audience, and a promising outlook ahead.
