Apple announced that John Ternus will be the company's new CEO, replacing Tim Cook in September. Cook will become executive chairman and remain at the company focusing on political and institutional relations.
Tim Cook has led Apple since August 2011, when Steve Jobs resigned as CEO due to the cancer that would lead to his death in October of that year. This is Apple's first CEO transition since Tim Cook succeeded Steve Jobs in 2011, with Cook having discretely prepared the succession and expanded Ternus's role by placing him in charge of design teams at the end of last year.
