Apple's new CEO John Ternus steps into the spotlight after flying under the radar for years

Apple has announced that John Ternus will become the next CEO, taking over from Tim Cook on September 1. Ternus is a company veteran who has been with Apple for 25 years, most recently overseeing hardware engineering for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Despite his significant role, Ternus has kept a low profile outside the company. His appointment comes at a pivotal time for Apple, which has fallen behind in the artificial intelligence race. Analysts say Ternus faces the challenge of advancing Apple's AI capabilities. Ternus expressed humility and commitment to Apple's values in his new role.
