US EditionApple’s Next-in-Line? Meet John Ternus, a Hardware Engineer Who Might Become the CEO
John Ternus is seen as the likely Apple CEO successor with over 60% odds on prediction markets as Tim Cook plans to reduce his workload, accelerating succession talks.
- The New York Times published a detailed profile positioning John Ternus, Apple's senior vice president of hardware engineering, as a front-runner to succeed Tim Cook, with Polymarket and Kalshi placing his odds above 60%.
- Last year Apple began accelerating its succession planning as Cook expressed a desire to reduce his workload, with recent months increasing focus after Cook turned 6 and key executives departed.
- Known for engineering craftsmanship, Ternus is credited with product decisions like LiDAR on iPhone Pro, spearheading the iPhone Air last year, and involvement in foldable phone experiments.
- Multiple internal succession paths remain viable as Apple readies options for a post‑Cook era; should Mr. Cook step down, he is likely to become chairman of Apple's board, according to three people, while two people say he is grooming several internal candidates.
- Observers note Ternus's limited policy exposure could be a drawback given the CEO's public responsibilities, and six former employees say he is known more for maintaining products than inventing them.
