Mint Explainer | The post-Tim Cook Apple: Can John Ternus fill the big shoes?
Apple's CEO has changed. John Ternus, previously head of hardware engineering, took over after Tim Cook stepped down on 31 August. He will launch new iPhones on 9 September. Ternus faces higher memory chip costs, which may raise phone prices. Supply chain and AI are also key challenges. Analysts expect Apple's sales to keep growing, possibly helped by a foldable iPhone.
