Apple announced it will appoint John Ternus, who has held key roles in the company's hardware engineering division for many years, as CEO effective September 1. Ternus, who will step into the role vacated by Tim Cook, has been at Apple for 25 years and plays a key role in the company's strategy of developing its own technologies. Experts say Ternus's experience in hardware and artificial intelligence could boost Apple's potential to deliver innovative products.
Ternus emphasized that Apple increases innovation by reducing external dependency through its own designs and technologies. In past interviews, he highlighted the importance of the company's internally developed technologies in products like AirPods, iPad, and Mac. He also stated his focus on innovating without compromising quality in products like the affordable MacBook Neo.
Apple's new CEO believes the company needs to seize new opportunities in artificial intelligence and hardware. However, time will tell whether Apple can make a significant breakthrough in areas like foldable phones, wearable glasses, or artificial intelligence under Ternus's leadership. Overall, Ternus is expected to continue developing innovative products while maintaining Apple's current strengths.
