I had a totally different editor’s message planned for today, but on Monday, the news dropped that Tim Cook will be stepping down as Apple CEO. He’ll remain in the role until September, at which point he’ll continue on as executive chairman, while Apple’s current head of hardware engineering, John Ternus, will ascend the CEO throne. You can read Cook’s farewell message, and learn more about the transition from AP.
On a personal note, Cook took over from Steve Jobs in 2011, so he’s been the CEO from the time I got my first iPhone. It’s certainly the end of an era! What will you remember most from the Tim Cook era? For my money, the introduction of the Apple Watch is hard to beat. Let me know your pick at editors@iphonelife.com.
