  "account": "John Ternus officially assumed the role of Apple's CEO on September 1, 2026, replacing Tim Cook. Ternus, a veteran Apple executive and engineer, had been with the company since 2001, most recently holding the position of senior vice president of hardware engineering. Cook, who took over from Apple's founder Steve Jobs in 2011, transformed the company into a multi-trillion-dollar powerhouse. He remained on Apple's Board of Directors as executive chair. In his farewell memo to employees, Cook expressed pride in the company's accomplishments and its commitment to leaving the world better than it was found. Ternus' first major task upon taking over was the scheduled launch on September 9 of new iPhones, Apple Watch devices, and other products.",
