Apple considers Ternus to replace CEO Tim Cook
Apple has intensified succession planning preparations for Tim Cook's potential departure as CEO as early as next year, marking the end of his 14-year leadership tenure. The tech giant's board and senior executives have recently ramped up discussions around identifying his successor. John Ternus, who serves as Apple's Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, is considered the top candidate to lead the $4 trillion corporation. It is unlikely that Apple will announce a new CEO before its January earnings report, which covers the critical holiday period.
