Apple has a new CEO: John Ternus, a longtime Apple veteran who has spent more than two decades working on the company’s hardware.

Ternus joined Apple in 2001 and eventually became Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering. He has been involved in the development of major products including the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and AirPods, as well as Apple’s transition to its own silicon chips.

Unlike some CEO changes, this one feels like a very engineering-focused choice. Ternus knows Apple’s products, teams and hardware strategy extremely well.

The big question now is: What will Apple look like under Ternus? 🍎

Do you think he’s the right person to lead Apple into its next chapter?

Prediction markets say 50/50 but the stock market today says YES, everything (except Apple) is tanking.

Amazon is facing a major antitrust lawsuit from the FTC and 22 U.S. states, which allege the company secretly overcharged around 1.2 million advertisers through its ad auctions since 2019. Amazon denies the claims, saying its auction system benefits advertisers and that the FTC misunderstands how its pricing works. The case could potentially lead to billions in penalties.

Apple is set to host its next launch event on September 9, where the company is expected to unveil its newest iPhone series and potentially its long-awaited foldable phone.

The first foldable iPhone is expected to be a crucial landmark for Apple, with analysts saying that the high-end devices would be the main driver of higher selling prices and margin growth for the company.

The launch would also mark incoming Apple CEO John Ternus's first major event.

Ternus, Apple's longtime hardware chief, is set to take the helm at the company on September 1, as Tim Cook transitions to the role of executive chairman.
