On September 1, 2026, John Ternus officially took over Apple, replacing Tim Cook, who had led the company for 15 years. In his very first internal memo, Apple\u2019s new CEO hinted at a \u201chuge launch\u201d next week. We break down who Ternus is and what to expect on September 9.<\/p>\n

Who Is John Ternus<\/h2>\n
