Welcome back to NTD Evening News. 
I'm Carey Donst. 
A major leadership shakeup at Apple. 
The company announced today that Tim Cook is stepping down as CEO and he's handing the reins to hardware chief John Ternus. 
Apple says John Ternus will take over as CEO on September 1st with Cook transitioning to the role of executive chairman. 
Ternus, currently senior vice president of hardware engineering, will also join the board. 
This marks the first CEO change at Apple since Tim Cook succeeded Steve Jobs back in 2011. 
Cook called leading the company the greatest privilege of his life. 
During his nearly 15-year tenure, Apple's market cap grew from around 350 billion to roughly 4 trillion. 
He also oversaw the company's major push into wearables, including the Apple Watch, AirPods, and Vision Pro. 
Cook will remain CEO through the summer to help with the transition.
