It’s a great time for a hardware specialist to lead Apple. When John Ternus takes the helm in September as the company’s new CEO, analysts expect Apple to launch a whole new generation of devices: a foldable iPhone. There are also rumors that we could soon see Apple’s smart glasses and a smart home hub.
It certainly won’t be a slow start for Ternus, who currently oversees all of Apple’s hardware engineering. But he will also be responsible for tackling new challenges in AI and manufacturing, as I explore in this week’s One More Thing episode, embedded below.

CEO Tim Cook is handing over the reins after 15 years of building Apple into a tech giant. Cook was a supply chain and logistics wizard, but it may take a material mind like Ternus to develop Apple into the AI age. This week, my colleagues also looked back at Cook’s influence, highlighting the biggest products launched during his tenure and his legacy of turning Apple gadgets into status symbols.
But Cook isn’t leaving Apple completely. His influence continues as he assumes the role of executive chairman of Apple’s board of directors. You could see him continuing to play the role of Washington whisperer, as the company said Cook would “engage with policymakers around the world.”
This leaves Ternus free to focus its energy on launching new products. His first mission? Make sure that improved custom Siri works really well on these fun new gadgets this fall. Because if it fails, it’s going to be a tough first year.
