Here's what we know about John Ternus, Apple's new CEO

Apple has named longtime hardware leader John Ternus as its next CEO, set to replace Tim Cook in September after 15 years.

The choice signals continuity, with Ternus bringing deep product and engineering experience from teams behind the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and AirPods.

His top challenge will be to sharpen Apple’s AI strategy as rivals advance, especially around Siri and potential partnerships such as with Google.

He will also need to manage supply-chain exposure and rising geopolitical pressure, particularly related to China and trade tensions.
