“I am profoundly grateful for this opportunity to carry Apple’s mission forward,” said Ternus. “Having spent almost my entire career at Apple, I have been lucky to have worked under Steve Jobs and to have had Tim Cook as my mentor. It has been a privilege to help shape the products and experiences that have changed so much of how we interact with the world and with one another. I am filled with optimism about what we can achieve in the years to come, and I am so happy to know that the most talented people on earth are here at Apple, determined to be part of something bigger than any one of us. I am humbled to step into this role, and I promise to lead with the values and vision that have come to define this special place for half a century.”

I think this bodes well for people who like Apple for the Macs and think that the superpower they developed was the M-series of chips. I am hopeful the best of the Mac, including software design, is yet to come. However, we also live in a golden age where we can easily shift to another platform.

Tim Cook, well done!
