The tech world is buzzing with speculation about who might be Apple’s next CEO, and John Ternus has emerged as one of the top contenders.

At 50, Ternus currently serves as Apple’s Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering. He began his journey with Apple in 2001 in the Product Design team and took over the hardware engineering department in 2013. Under his leadership, Apple has launched several successful products and innovations.

Experts believe that Apple’s future focus - especially in AI and advanced hardware - requires a leader with deep technical knowledge and hands-on engineering experience. By this measure, John Ternus fits the bill perfectly.
While Tim Cook has not given any indication that he plans to step down, insiders say that Ternus is seen as a potential long-term successor for the CEO role.

Tech enthusiasts and investors are keeping a close eye on Ternus’ next moves. For Apple, this could mark an exciting chapter full of new opportunities and challenges.
