Apple has appointed John Ternus as its new CEO, replacing Tim Cook who led the company for many years. Ternus, 51, has been with Apple for 25 years and was previously vice president of hardware.
Ternus is described as a "product guy" who enjoys working hands-on with development teams. Like Cook, he has a calm and steady leadership style, very different from co-founder Steve Jobs who was known for being brilliant but difficult.
The new CEO faces several challenges. Apple has been criticized for being slow to adopt AI technology, choosing to partner with OpenAI and Google rather than developing its own AI. The company also struggles with manufacturing issues in China due to trade tensions.
Ternus must also navigate relationships with political leaders and decide how much of his personal life to share publicly. His success will determine Apple's future in an increasingly competitive tech industry.
