Here’s to the stable ones: In praise of Tim Cook - Engadget Wed, 22 Apr 2026 14:48:50 GMT
Tim Cook’s tenure as Apple CEO ends September 1 when he takes the role of executive chair. He will be replaced by John Ternus, a 25-year Apple veteran and head of its hardware engineering division.

Consider this an attempt to balance the record ahead of Cook’s damning with the faintest of praise.
