John Ternus is Now Apple's CEO

[MacRumors]

Apple's former hardware engineering chief John Ternus officially became CEO of the company today, with the change now reflected on Apple's leadership page.

Ternus joined Apple in 2001, became a vice president of hardware engineering in 2013, and became senior vice president of hardware engineering in 2021. He is 51, so he could serve as CEO for 10 to 15 years before reaching typical retirement age.

Tim Cook is now executive chairman of Apple's board of directors, after a 15-year run as CEO. In this role, Apple said Cook "will assist with certain aspects of the company, including engaging with policymakers around the world."

During his final day as CEO on Monday, Cook stopped by the Apple Park Visitor Center in Cupertino, California to meet some of Apple's retail employees from various stores, with photos and a video of the visit available on Instagram.

In case you missed it, Cook shared a letter to the Apple community in April.

Ternus is more like Steve Jobs, an product oriented person, Tim was more an accountant

 

[Astuces iOS]

The contrast between those pictures is stark.

Why do I think of Anakin Skywalker and Senator Palpatine?

Ternus has such a happy, almost innocent look on his face. Cook looks like he's about to lure you into something.

Lets hope its and end to the tiresome "rainbow band" era and a return to innovation and design.

 

[contacos]

That iPhone keynote will be interesting next week

Lets hope its and end to the tiresome "rainbow band" era and a return to innovation and design.

What does this mean? Apple has always used rainbows in their marketing.

Are you talking about the pride stuff? Because if so, lol why does that bother you?

All the best to John Ternus

Just take a gander at the prices over at Apple.com these days. A lure if you ever saw one!

What changes now? If John decides to shift priorities at Apple in a big way, how many years until we see Apple introducing products that never would have happened under Tim?
