John Ternus has been named CEO of Apple, ending Tim Cook's 15-year tenure at the helm. Ternus, who has been with Apple for 25 years, previously served as senior vice president of Hardware Engineering and played a central role in Apple's transition from Intel processors to Apple Silicon chips in MacBooks.
Ternus was instrumental in developing some of Apple's most successful products, including the iPad, AirPods, and the iPhone ecosystem. His deep technical expertise and long tenure at the company position him as an insider well-versed in Apple's hardware and engineering culture. Tim Cook will remain as executive chairman of the board, maintaining a leadership presence as the company navigates this transition.
