Apple’s long-term CEO Tim Cook has officially stepped down, passing on the role to John Ternus. This is not a complete exit from the company, as Cook will continue to serve as executive chairman. However, the transition does mark the end of his 15-year tenure as Apple CEO.
Cook wrote in an X post himself, “Sending lots of love to the Apple community on my last day as CEO. My title changes tomorrow, but the love I have for the Apple community never will. Thank you for being a constant source of inspiration. My gratitude is endless, and I’m excited for the next chapter!”
Cook shared an emotional farewell note with employees as he serves his final days as Apple CEO. He thanked the employees in the memo and that he has “enormous comfort in handing the helm to someone as brilliant and wonderful and capable” as Ternus.
“I will miss this work in ways I can only begin to imagine, even as I remain completely at peace with my decision. I will miss leading you and being with you for every step,” Cook said in the farewell memo to employees.
“As you know, I am not leaving Apple. But I am stepping away from a role that I have loved deeply. I will miss this work in ways I can only begin to imagine, even as I remain completely at peace with my decision. I will miss leading you and being with you for every step, even as I take enormous comfort in handing the helm to someone as brilliant and wonderful and capable as John. Few people understand what it takes to build products that change the world the way John does and I could not be more excited for his leadership,” he clarified.
