Apple is reportedly bracing itself for a leadership shake-up next year, with sources suggesting that Tim Cook could be on his way out after nearly 15 years at the helm. The Financial Times reports that Apple's top executives have been quietly preparing to identify and secure Cook's replacement, citing internal discussions about potential successors.
At 14 years into his tenure, Cook has overseen a significant expansion of the company under its services umbrella, with notable additions like Apple Arcade and Apple TV+. However, it appears that the focus is shifting towards hardware development, which may be seen as more lucrative. John Ternus, senior vice president of engineering since 2001, is reportedly poised to take over as CEO if Cook were to leave.
The Financial Times claims that while no official announcement has been made, Apple's leadership team is expected to make a move early in the year, potentially before its January earnings report. This would allow for a smooth transition and enable Ternus to prepare for any potential role changes within the company. The news comes as Apple continues to bolster its senior executive ranks, with Sabih Khan recently appointed as chief operating officer.
While Cook's departure is far from certain, it appears that his time at the top may be drawing to a close. If true, this could signal significant changes for Apple, both in terms of leadership and strategic direction.

Tim Cook's been running Apple for like, forever! 15 years is crazy! 
He's done some awesome things like expanding services and adding new features to Apple Arcade 
, but now it seems like they're shifting focus to hardware? 
That makes total sense, though - hardware sales are where it's at right now! 
The fact that John Ternus is rumored to be the next CEO if Cook leaves is a big deal too! 
He's been with Apple since 2001, so he knows what's up. 
This could get really interesting, especially if they make an announcement early in 2025! 
Fingers crossed for a smooth transition and new opportunities for the company!

got me thinking, what if Tim Cook decides to retire? Like, we all know he's been there for ages, but 15 years is a looong time. John Ternus seems like a solid choice to take over, though - he's been around since 2001 and has some serious engineering cred 
you know how long Tim Cook has been at the helm? 14 years! that's like, forever 
. but honestly i think it's about time we see some new blood at the top 
. don't get me wrong, he's done a great job expanding their services and all that, but let's be real, hardware is where the money's at 
. the fact that they're already talking about succession plans before Cook leaves? it just feels like they want to make sure there's no drama or disruption during the transition 
. what do you guys think?
Apple's leaders have been secretly planning for Cook's replacement - what does that say about our own lives? Are we prepared for our own transitions, whether it's a new job or just growing older? I think that's what this news is really telling us. We gotta be flexible and open to change, 'cause when life gives you lemons (or in this case, a CEO), you make lemonade! 
and they need someone who can keep it lit 
. John Ternus seems like a solid choice to take over, he's been with Apple since 2001... that's some dedication 
. The question is, who will be the next big thing at Apple? 
1 sec i dont wanna jinx it but john ternus sounds like the real deal 
anywayz if this happens, expect some major changes at apple 
maybe hes gonna be a good ceo tho?
Can you believe Tim Cook's been running Apple for like 15 years? That's even longer than some people have been dating their ex 
. Maybe they'll surprise us and pick someone totally unexpected 
.
. I mean, Tim Cook's been doin' an amazing job, but if the company is feelin' like it needs a shake-up, maybe there's somethin' they wanna try out 
. Either way, I'm curious to see what happens next...
