John Ternus as Apple’s CEO

- John Ternus is being framed publicly as Tim Cook’s likely successor, spotlighting his hardware-engineering background and a focus on custom silicon and on‑device AI versus cloud models. - Ternus is described as treating product choices like “physics problems with measurable tradeoffs,” a mindset credited with Apple Silicon and M-series direction and tied to an emerging AI roadmap. - The leadership shift happens as Apple faces intensified App Store scrutiny and a reported US$38B antitrust exposure in India, which could force product/API changes across markets.
