Another Day Has Come

John Gruber reflects on Tim Cook's transition from Apple CEO to executive chairman, and the promotion of John Ternus as the new CEO. Unlike the emotionally heavy 2011 transition when Steve Jobs stepped down due to illness, this change is orderly and on Cook's own terms. Gruber praises Cook's 15-year tenure for growing Apple into an even stronger company, argues that Apple now needs a product-focused leader like Ternus, and expresses confidence in the succession. He notes Cook will remain as executive chairman, likely handling political and policy matters.
