The AirPods are Tim Cook’s most underrated achievement

Apple Silicon chips. The iPhone’s dominance. Apple Vision Pro. During Tim Cook’s 15-year tenure as Apple CEO there were highs – and in the case of the Vision Pro, maybe a low – that helped define Apple as one of the most dominant forces in tech even without Steve Jobs. But one product doesn’t get […]

Tim Cook is stepping down as CEO of Apple. Here’s a look at his 15-year legacy, from new products and services to China expansion.

The Mac reached a series of low points in the Tim Cook era: the fiasco of the butterfly keyboard, the clunky transition to USB-C, the underutilized potential of the Touch Bar, and the occasionally lackluster Intel chip performance.

Apple will have a product guy as CEO again

John Ternus is going to be Apple’s next CEO. And while outgoing CEO Tim Cook was lauded for his approach to logistics, Ternus’ history is that of a product person. Ternus, Apple’s SVP of hardware engineering before being officially tapped to take over the top job, has been increasingly in the public eye to help […]
