John Ternus takes over Apple as Tim Cook steps aside

A new era begins at Apple on Tuesday as John Ternus steps in as the company’s new CEO. Tim Cook, who has served as the company’s chief executive since 2011, will stay on as executive chairman.

Ternus will oversee the expected rollout of the new foldable iPhone this month and lead the company into the age of artificial intelligence.
