It’s formally the Ternus period at Apple.
Tim Cook stepped down as CEO this week, handing the corporate to former {hardware} chief John Ternus, whose first memo promised a “huge launch next week” — timing that places Apple’s subsequent iPhone occasion on his desk earlier than he’s even settled in. Cook dinner isn’t going far, although: he’s staying on as Government Chairman, targeted on the type of coverage relationships that just lately turned one thing as small as a map label into a really public balancing act. All of which raises an apparent query: what does the Ternus period appear to be, and the way a lot rope will shareholders give him to determine it out?
On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec and Sean O’Kane unpack what Ternus is strolling into, why he may very well be higher positioned to make progress on software program than {hardware} on this new AI period, and extra of the week’s information.
