Tim Cook is stepping down as Apple CEO on September 1, handing leadership to John Ternus. Over his 15-year tenure, Cook grew Apple's market cap from $350 billion to $4 trillion, launched major product categories including Apple Watch, AirPods, and Apple Vision Pro, built a $109 billion services business, transitioned Macs to Apple Silicon, and expanded Apple's presence in China. His AI era efforts with Apple Intelligence have faced delays, and Apple partnered with Google to bring Gemini to its next-generation AI tools.
