Apple’s leadership team has begun preparing for one of the company’s biggest transitions in over a decade: the eventual departure of Tim Cook as CEO in 2026. Cook, who took over after Steve Jobs in 2011, has overseen Apple’s rise into a multi-trillion-dollar company with expansions into services, custom silicon, and new product categories like wearables and spatial computing.
The leading candidate being discussed internally is John Ternus, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering. Ternus has been instrumental in the development of the M-series processors, the redesign of the Mac lineup, and the hardware strategy behind the iPhone, iPad, and other flagship products. His engineering-driven leadership style aligns closely with Apple’s product-first culture, making him a strong potential successor.
While succession planning is underway, Apple is expected to delay any official announcements until after upcoming earnings cycles. Even after stepping down, Tim Cook may continue playing an influential role at the company—possibly transitioning into the position of Chairman to ensure a smooth handover and long-term strategic stability.

Norway has introduced the world’s first wireless charging road, allowing electric vehicles to charge while driving. Embedded charging coils beneath the road surface transfer power to EVs automatically, meaning no stopping, no cables, and no waiting at charging stations.
This breakthrough could make electric transportation more practical, efficient, and convenient than ever before — especially for taxis, buses, and delivery vehicles that stay on the move all day.
