@Zukoife @markgurman @grok Yeah, it will be in September 2026 many exciting products in the upcoming product line

@markgurman @grok When is the foldable iPhone going to be released?

The timing of Ternus’s takeover - September - is also tied, in part, to Apple wanting him to host the event debuting the foldable iPhone, the biggest change in the product’s 19 year history. He drove its development.

True and also, The real challenges waiting for John: 1. Siri has been delayed multiple times and still not fixed. 2. The ai chief John Giannandrea just leave apple this month. 3. Apple doesn't have its own ai frontier they using competitors ai model for Siri. ( Gemini and ChatGPT)

Power On: Tim Cook leaves new CEO John Ternus with a tailwind of an unprecedented 10 new product categories launching in the next few years. Cook launched three since 2011. bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

@NavalismHQ @naval True, winner and the loser both have the same goal system is what makes them different.

@XFreeze That is a true AI tool agrees with you all the time, you have to fact-check information even if it has browser access, lot of improvement is still needed

@InternetH0F Tim Cook didn't invent the product but built the system behind that, the supply chain, global retail, and partnerships. He is not leaving he will now be the executive chairman, focusing on policy and strategy.

Tim Cook is stepping down as Apple CEO after 15 years. Here's what Cook accomplished as CEO: - Took Apple from $350 million market cap to almost $4 trillion - Launched the product lines for Apple Watches, AirPods, AirTags, everything from the iPhone 5 onward - Created services including Apple Pay, Apple Music, Apple TV+, and more - Became the first Fortune 500 CEO to come out as gay - Bought Beats for $3 billion in 2014 - Launched Emergency SOS via satellite beginning with the iPhone 14

@anishmoonka I'm quite Optimistic about John Ternus,Here are key insights from Apple’s CEO transition: x.com/dvalangar1/sta…

Two days ago, Apple announced Tim Cook is stepping down as CEO. The announcement copies Jobs' letter here almost exactly. But the company Cook is handing over is worth 11 times what it was when Jobs wrote this. Jobs wrote the letter on August 24, 2011. Apple was worth about $350 billion back then. He died six weeks later. Cook took over a company built on Jobs' personal taste and had to run it without him. What Cook pulled off in the 15 years since is one of the biggest runs in business history. Revenue went from $108 billion a year to $416 billion. Services alone (App Store, iCloud, Apple Music, subscriptions) brought in $109 billion last year, more than Apple's entire yearly revenue was in 2011. Market value went from $350 billion to $4.01 trillion, about the size of the entire British economy. And Cook personally earned around $2.4 billion in those 15 years. The board approved unanimously. Cook moves to chairman, same as Jobs did in 2011. The replacement comes from inside: John Ternus, 50, joined Apple in 2001 and has run hardware engineering since 2021. Apple called it the result of long-term succession planning. The stock barely moved on the news, down about 0.5%. Most big companies fumble CEO handoffs. Apple keeps making them look routine. Jobs set up the system in 2011. Cook proved it worked by turning Apple into a $4 trillion company. Now Ternus runs the same play starting September 1, 15 years later and at 11 times the value.

@Gemini SpaceX IPO in 2026 looks real. Valuation jumped from $1T → $1.5T → $1.75T. Still unclear if it’s a straight IPO or merger structure,Either way this will move markets for sure.

JUST IN: SpaceX S-1 filing reveals a $1.75 trillion IPO valuation, the largest public offering in history

Google just announced two brand new 8th generation AI chips today. TPU 8t — for training AI models. TPU 8i — to run them in real time. Think of it this way — one chip teaches the AI, the other puts it to work,Before this one chip was doing both. That’s like using the same person to build a car and drive it. Now they have both builder and a driver. And both are best at their jobs. #AI #google #googlecloudnext

@anishmoonka John ternus next apple CEO working in apple from 25 years, here areimportant insights about this transition:👇🏻 x.com/dvalangar1/sta…

The man about to run a $4 trillion company has 8,607 followers on LinkedIn and zero posts. His profile shows two jobs. Engineer at a tiny company from 1997 to 2001, then Apple ever since. No recommendations, no endorsements, no certifications, no "thrilled to announce." Tim Cook, the man he replaces on September 1, is not on LinkedIn at all. Warren Buffett is not either. Apple's board and Berkshire's shareholders don't seem to mind, which is an awkward fact for LinkedIn, the company Microsoft paid $26.2 billion for back in 2016. LinkedIn works when someone doesn't know who you are yet. A recruiter wondering if you are worth a call. A stranger deciding whether to reply to your cold email. Someone at a conference checking you out before they bother to listen. Once enough people already know who you are, the platform stops doing much for you. Ternus has been at Apple for 25 years. He has been on stage introducing iPhones and iPads for close to ten. Every investor, every supplier, every journalist, every competitor worth knowing already knows him. The profile adds nothing. The platform's own numbers tell the same story from the other side. LinkedIn has about 1.15 billion accounts on paper. Only around 310 million of those people show up in a given month. Only about 1% of that group posts anything in a given week. Even among CEOs, only about half manage to post once a month, and those posts are usually written by someone in the PR department. Most of the $17.8 billion LinkedIn brought in last year came from recruiters and companies paying to find people. The people they are trying to find rarely pay the platform anything. LinkedIn is most useful when you have the least going for you, and least useful when you have the most. Your profile matters most when you are applying for jobs. It matters least once your name opens doors on its own. The people LinkedIn most wants to feature, to prove it is where careers get built, are the same people who have the least reason to use it. AI has made the situation worse. 95% of regular LinkedIn posters saw their reach drop by nearly half last year. The feed is now full of AI-written posts that all look the same. Merriam-Webster named "slop" its 2025 Word of the Year, partly because of what LinkedIn turned into. The company replaced much of its old ranking system with an AI that tries to catch generic, cookie-cutter writing, because the human moderators could not keep up. So LinkedIn is selling an idea it cannot back up. Apple's next CEO has 8,607 followers, nothing to say on the feed, and a board that just handed him the company anyway.

@wallstengine Apple just announced its next ceo and here are most important insights from it👇 x.com/dvalangar1/sta…

APPLE NAMES JOHN TERNUS AS NEXT CEO John Ternus will become CEO on Sept. 1, 2026, while Tim Cook transitions to executive chairman. Ternus, $AAPL's current hardware chief, will also join the board. Cook will remain in his role through summer 2026 to help with the transition.

@aakashgupta Apple just announced its next ceo and here are most important insights from it👇 x.com/dvalangar1/sta…

Apple just named its next CEO. He doesn’t have a LinkedIn profile picture. Because he’s never job searched. John Ternus joined Apple in July 2001 straight out of Penn mechanical engineering. He has been at one company for 25 years. His title the entire time: some flavor of hardware engineering. He has never run an OS team, an AI lab, or a services business. The board picked him over Craig Federighi (software), Eddy Cue (services), and Johny Srouji (the actual chip designer). At a $4 trillion company that just spent two years getting publicly criticized about Siri. Apple Silicon is the AI moat. Every iPhone shipping today runs a Neural Engine that does on-device inference no competitor can match at that power envelope. The reason ChatGPT and Gemini run in the cloud is they need a building full of GPUs to do what an A18 Pro does in your pocket at 3 watts. That gap is widening. Whoever controls the silicon controls the unit economics of AI. Nvidia controls training. Apple controls inference at the edge. Google is the only other company with both ends, and their consumer hardware ships under 40M Pixels a year vs Apple's 230M+ iPhones. Ternus has run hardware engineering since 2013. He shipped the iPhone Air, the M-series Macs, the iPhone 17. He worked side-by-side with the chip team on every major architecture transition: the A-series, the M1 break from Intel, the Neural Engine roadmap. He doesn't need to learn what's coming because he scoped it. The board's read: AI is a vertical integration problem. The only person who's been in every architecture review for the last decade is the one who just got the job. Tim's bet was supply chain. John's bet is the stack. The guy with no posts about it just inherited the most important hardware company in the world.

@tim_cook Apple just announced its next ceo and here are most important insights from it👇 x.com/dvalangar1/sta…

I want to thank everyone for the outpouring of love and thank you for believing in me to lead the company that has always put you at the center of our work. This is not goodbye. It’s a hello to John and I can’t wait for you to get to know him like I do! 🙏

7. Jobs imagined it. Cook scaled it to $4T. Now Ternus — the engineer who built every product in between has to figure out what comes next. Honestly? I'm quite optimistic about Ternus. What do you think?👇

6. The timing is wild. Ternus is taking over right as Apple is about to have its biggest product lineup in a long time - foldable iPhone, AirPods with cameras. The next few months are going to be interesting.

Apple just announced its new CEO and it says a lot more than it looks. Here are the most important insights from this transition:
