Tim Cook's Final Day as Apple CEO Marks End of Era

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
Cook's real legacy isn't the iPhone X or Apple Watch, but turning Apple into a profit machine that prints cash from services and ecosystem lock-in.
💡 Why it matters
The transition to Ternus signals a shift from supply-chain mastery back to product-focused leadership, which could reshape Apple's innovation roadmap.

Tim Cook steps down as Apple CEO on August 31, 2026, after a tenure that saw Apple's market value soar by $4 trillion. He passes the reins to product chief John Ternus.
