Tim Cook Has Left 'Big Shoes' To Fill, Says Dan Ives — Gene Munster And Sam Altman React To The Handoff A
The hardware chief who joined Apple in 2001 will take over as the company faces delays in artificial intelligence features.
- On Monday, Apple named John Ternus as its new CEO, effective Sept. 1, while Tim Cook transitions to executive chairman of the Board of Directors. Cook will continue through summer to ensure a smooth transition.
- This leadership change ends Cook's 15-year run as CEO, marking the first transition since he replaced Steve Jobs in 2011. Under his stewardship, Apple launched the Apple Watch, AirPods, and Vision Pro.
- Ternus, currently Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, joined Apple in 2001 and was described as "instrumental" to the iPhone and AirPods. He was recently featured at the MacBook Neo launch.
- As executive chairman, the 65-year-old Cook will assist Apple with specific aspects, serving as a de-facto ambassador to policymakers worldwide. Apple implied he will continue engaging with global leaders in this capacity.
- While Apple shares appreciated more than 1,700% under Cook, the company has struggled recently with artificial intelligence adoption. Apple delayed AI-powered Siri's rollout multiple times, and its AI chief departed at the end of 2025.
