Apple Names John Ternus New CEO Amid AI Challenges

John Ternus has taken over as Apple's new CEO, ending Tim Cook's 15-year tenure at the tech giant. During his time as CEO, Apple's value skyrocketed to $4.6 trillion thanks to the enormous popularity of the iPhone.

Ternus faces significant challenges in his new role, including navigating the company's efforts to catch up with rivals in artificial intelligence. He will need to balance keeping Apple competitive in AI while also addressing supply chain questions and maintaining relationships with key figures, such as President Donald Trump.

Cook is widely expected to help the company maintain a good relationship with Trump after he shifts to his new role as executive chairman. Ternus worked on some of Apple's signature products under Cook, including the Apple Watch, AirPods, and Apple Vision Pro.
