Apple CEO Tim Cook is stepping down as Apple's chief executive officer, and hardware engineering chief John Ternus is set to take over, Apple announced today. Cook will continue on as Apple CEO through the summer, with Ternus set to join Apple's Board of Directors and take over as CEO on September 1, 2026.
Would they have chosen anyone else to lead the push for AI?
I for one am completely convinced that Tim Cook is “leaving” because he wasn’t pushing AI as hard as the shareholders wanted. They think they’re falling behind, which in a way they are (but that’s a good thing IMO), and now they’re experiencing FOMO, as shareholders do.
Federighi is the one who talked Cook in to moving the company towards AI, and he’s the person who was put in charge of the AI-ification of Siri when the previous fly was let go. Turnus is a hardware guy. The two things he’s most responsible for are Apple Silicon and AirPods
I’m not sold on the idea that’s why Cook is leaving, but I’m with you that Apple may be slow playing the push into AI. If they are dragging their feet, I actually appreciate it.
