After 15 years at the helm, Tim Cook is stepping down as Apple's CEO on September 1, 2026.
Cook helped turn Apple into a global tech giant.
He's not leaving entirely, though; he'll stick around as executive chairman while John Ternus, Apple's hardware chief, takes over as the new CEO.

With Ternus stepping up and joining the board of directors, too, expect Apple to keep pushing forward with new ideas and steady leadership from someone who knows the company inside out.
