John Ternus is Now Apple's CEO

[Quicksilver867]

Ternus joined Apple in the heyday of translucent and lucite products. I wouldn't be mad if some of that style came back (it won't).

Does Tim have to move offices?

Reading stories of people who started in lowly positions, worked hard, knew their stuff, and were eventually recognized in amazing ways motivate me. Looking forward to reading a book in 20 years, maybe longer, with stories from this time period. The newest book on Jobs (Steve Jobs in Exile) was really good—something that was a blip on my radar had all sorts of layers behind the scenes.

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.

So are you saying that at the end of John's term he will be Darth Vader? That's a scary thought. 😱

 

[Pitogyro]

Godspeed John Ternus. I hope the BoD (especially Cook) will allow him to forge a new path for Apple, to take risks and of course to make mistakes in the process.

 

[dynamojoe]

Keeping Tim Apple around to deal with politicians not only frees Ternus from that drudgery but it also keeps Cook’s expertise available in other areas, like the supply chain.

 

[Sosab123]

Apple one of the companies you can tell a brief story based on their leadership.

Steve got everyone their Jobs, which let Tim Cook, and now that he's done, John will either Ternus into fans or haters.

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?

3 years

What an unexpected news ! Welcome John and make Apple GREAT AGAIN !

It’s been talked about for a few months now. This news isn’t unexpected at all…

Good Morning Mr. Ternus!

 

[SoyMaxV]

Finally.

It's time to get Apple back on its feet.

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

Two separate departments by the way. The M series of chips came out during the "rainbow brand" era and are one of the most innovative things Apple has ever done. You don't like the rainbows? Don't buy the watch bands or use the wallpapers. Easy as that.

Tim was more an accountant

That is a good thing for those who invested instead of buying a $1,000 iPhone every year.

Tim Cook:

Just in time for Tim to take in the season of Auburn Football!

As the kids would say: "let's gooooooo!".

RIP Tim Apple!

Meh. Ternus is a fair bit younger than Cook, that’s all.

They’re not actors or media celebrities, it’s not “Reality TV”, so the look of their physical features really shouldn’t be a factor in measuring competency for the role.

You shouldn’t really care if your dentist is physically good-looking or not.. It’s but a measure of how good a dentist they are.

 

[ShivneelSingh]

I hope he cares more about innovation in software AND hardware than the stock price. I get Apple is the most valuable company, but I just want innovation.

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

You do realise that previous Apple logos, decades old, have had rainbow colours in them?

 

[Gengar]

Hopefully Apple products go back to being sleek, yet functional, during his tenure as CEO. I’m tired of these BRICKS.

 

[Dark_Omen]

John’s first day as CEO…

The witch is gone...sort of! 🤣😂
