Apple Newsroom, with a veritable “boom”:
Apple announced that Tim Cook will become executive chairman of
Apple’s board of directors and John Ternus, senior vice president
of Hardware Engineering, will become Apple’s next chief executive
officer effective on September 1, 2026. The transition, which was
approved unanimously by the Board of Directors, follows a
thoughtful, long-term succession planning process.Cook will continue in his role as CEO through the summer as he
works closely with Ternus on a smooth transition. As executive
chairman, Cook will assist with certain aspects of the company,
including engaging with policymakers around the world.
In a separate announcement: “Johny Srouji Named Apple’s Chief Hardware Officer”.
This is all very exciting, but also all very low on drama. It’s all very, very Cook-ian.
