Apple announced that it will appoint John Ternus, who has held key roles in the company's hardware engineering for many years, as CEO effective September 1. Ternus, who will take the seat vacated by Tim Cook's departure, has been at Apple for 25 years and plays a key role in the company's strategy of developing its own technologies. Experts note that Ternus's experience in hardware and artificial intelligence could enhance 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 technologies developed in-house for products like AirPods, iPad, and Mac. He also stated that in products like the affordable MacBook Neo, he focused on innovating without compromising quality.
Apple's new CEO believes the company needs to seize new opportunities in artificial intelligence and hardware. However, whether Apple can make a significant breakthrough under Ternus's leadership in areas like foldable phones, wearable glasses, or artificial intelligence remains to be seen. Overall, Ternus is expected to continue developing innovative products while preserving Apple's existing strengths.
