  "account": "In September, Apple will introduce new iPhones and appoint a new CEO. John Ternus, who is one year older than the company itself at 51, will take over the top position on September 1st. He has been responsible for devices up until now. It is fitting that among his first announcements as the new CEO, media reports suggest Apple will enter the market for foldable smartphones. Ternus is regarded as competent, focused, and a creative problem solver. Off the job, he enjoys driving his Porsche on the Laguna Seca racetrack in California, completing laps in under 1:40 minutes, according to the \"Wall Street Journal\". At Apple's internal developers' conference in June, Ternus signaled increased openness, sending him to a welcome party for journalists. The photo frenzy ended with him posing for selfie after selfie, always with a beaming smile. Tim Cook will step down from Apple's CEO seat, which he took over from Steve Jobs exactly 15 years ago. Jobs is the key figure in Apple's history. In his parent's garage, Steve Wozniak used to solder the circuits of the first Apple computers. After his return to the company, groundbreaking products such as the iPod, iPhone, and iPad emerged under Jobs' leadership.",
  "summary": "In der kommenden Woche muss Ternus sich das erste Mal beweisen: Apple stellt das neue iPhone vor. Im Fokus der kommenden Jahre steht zudem die KI-Transformation des Unternehmens.",
