John Ternus, senior vice president of US-based Apple, will become chief executive officer (CEO) effective 1 September 2024. His predecessor, Tim Cook, is expected to leave office after a 15-year tenure, with the full-scale adoption of AI and the challenge of expanding Apple’s ecosystem behind the transition. Ternus is considered to have kept a low profile in public since his appointment was announced.
Looking ahead, the new iPhone product launch event scheduled for the 9th is expected to be Ternus’s first major public appearance. Although his public comments on the specifics of Apple’s AI-focused strategy and the positioning of its new products have been limited, attention is focused on his ability to lead.
