Tim Cook is Stepping Down as Apple CEO. So, Now What?

Tim Cook is stepping down as CEO at Apple and being replaced by John Tarnas

Here's what we know. So who is John Tarnas? He's the senior VP of hardware at Apple

He's probably best known for shepherding through the transition to Apple's in-house processors

Now, Tarnas is said to be a more decisive, Jobsian-like personality. So whereas Cook has a reputation for

show me all the data, let's get all the decision makers together and hash this out

Tarnas is said to be a more decisive, this is what we're going to do, let's execute type personality. Maybe that's what Apple needs to find its next big hit in the tech

world, right? We'll have to wait and see. Cook is stepping down voluntarily after a hugely successful

run of 15 years at the helm of Apple. He took over from Steve Jobs himself. Under his watch

he's been able to grow Apple's market cap more than 20 times. He's built it into a $4 trillion

company, which is a number so big, it's hard to even comprehend, right? Cook has also had some

huge wins at Apple. I mean, he introduced the Apple Watch, the AirPods, some of the best iPhones

we've ever seen. As recently as a couple months ago, Apple has been smashing iPhone sales records

But Cook has also had some duds, frankly. There was the Apple Vision Pro headset, which really

didn't do much of anything. There's also the AI version of Siri, which was delayed and delayed

again and again. Now, hopefully we'll see that at WWDC soon, fingers crossed, but we'll have to

wait and see. So what was your favorite product of the Tim Cook era at Apple? Let us know in the
