Ternus Takes Helm as Apple's New CEO Amid Steady Growth
Apple's stock surged 2.5% by midday on September 1, 2026, as John Ternus officially took over as CEO from Tim Cook.
This marks the first time in 15 years that Apple has had a new CEO, with Cook stepping into the role in 2011 after Steve Jobs' departure.
Cook is not leaving the company entirely; he will serve as Executive Chairman and continue to engage with policymakers globally.
