🍎 Apple has a new CEO

John Ternus has officially taken over as Apple's chief executive, succeeding Tim Cook, who led the company for 15 years. Ternus previously served as Apple's senior VP of Hardware Engineering.

In his first memo to staff, Ternus said the company has "a huge launch next week that's going to be phenomenal," according to Bloomberg. The launch in question is Apple's annual iPhone event on September 9, expected to include the company's first foldable iPhone and a broader rollout of the redesigned Siri.

Cook, in a farewell note to employees, called Ternus "brilliant and wonderful and capable" and said few people understand what it takes to build world-changing products the way Ternus does.

Also in Apple's pipeline: camera-equipped AirPods, smart glasses, and a touchscreen laptop.
