John Ternus to Lead Apple Into the Age of AI
Ternus inherits Apple’s hardware-led strategy as the company works to close its AI gap and navigate pressure over China and tariffs.
- John Ternus takes over as Apple CEO on Tuesday, inheriting a company that leads the smartphone market but trails rivals in artificial intelligence. He succeeds Tim Cook, who concludes a 15-year run.

- Before joining Apple, Ternus earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania and worked at Virtual Research Systems. Inside the company, he drove product durability and reliability initiatives.
- The September 9 iPhone event serves as the first public measure of the handover. Ternus will be the face of the expected foldable product just eight days into the job.
- Dan Ives, partner at Yorkville Ives & Co., expects Ternus to concentrate on hardware innovation while leaving Cook's supply chain intact. However, President Donald Trump's demands for American production remain a persistent pressure.
