Changes for Apple after 15 years, Tim
Cook is leaving his post as CEO of Apple
and starting in September, he will be
the executive chairman of Apple's board
of directors. The next CEO will be John
Turnus. He's currently Apple's senior vice president of hardware engineering.
In a statement, Apple said Turnus started at Apple in 2001 working on the design team. He helped launch the iPad and AirPods.
So, joining us now to talk about the changes is Mike Isaac, a technology correspondent for the New York Times.
Mike, thanks for being here.
Do we know why Tim Cook chose right now to step down? What is the timing of all this?
So, I would say he's had a pretty good run. You know, it's been uh 15 years since he took over from Steve Jobs after pass as he passed away.
Um he's 10x the company's valued to more than $4 trillion and he's, you know, quadrupled the uh amount of revenue coming in profit coming in.
So, I think for him, you know, there's been rumblings around this for about, you know, the past 6 to 9 months or so and, you know, when you're 65 years old, uh you start to sort of think about legacy. What's next? Are you ready to sort of go out on top? And right now, as much as ever, is probably a a good note to end on, I would say.
You've done extensive reporting on all things tech and artificial intelligence.
So, let's talk about where Apple stands in the AI race.
Yeah, well, that's that is actually a good point as to why he might leave now.
AI is the next battle for a lot of these companies and uh Apple has its work cut out for it in a lot of ways, you know, they were um they were behind in a number of ways trying to figure out what what a digital assistant should look like, AI powered. They made a few missteps. A number of their executives that were running AI, one of them in particular is no longer with the company.
And so, this next era, I think all of the big tech companies really believe is going to be defined by who has the best version of AI running in their products.
And you know, that's a whole another uh race that I could see
uh you know, Tim Cook essentially wanting to pass that off to a uh successor to decide, you know, the verdict of where they end up there.
And I think right now, they're working on a revamped version of Siri for for the future.
And as you might have noticed by now, Siri has not been exactly a blockbuster digital assistant so far.
So, that's the hopefully the future for them.
Okay, well, let's talk about the future.
John Turnus will take over as CEO.
So, what is he known for at Apple and can he fill Tim Cook's shoes?
Yeah, the the speculation of who was going to change and fill Tim Cook's shoes has always been this kind of two two, you know, path uh two roads diverge sort of moment, right?
You can either go the more uh Steve Jobs version, you know, someone internally who wants to quote unquote make a dent in the universe or big visionary type or the
Tim Cook version, which is, you know, steady, sort of sober-minded operations person who knows how to run a giant, you know, multinational conglomerate that's worth trillions of dollars. Turnus is absolutely in the latter camp. He's very low-key, similar to Cook. He's an engineering guy. He's a logistics guy.
He's someone who knows how the nuts and
bolts of this company really run. A lot of insiders inside of the company wouldn't say, you know, he's this grand visionary or whatever. But at the same time, you know, Apple is an enormous company that really uh requires uh dealing and managing with a lot of moving parts, including, you know, dealing with diplomatic relations in China or dealing with President Trump and keeping the US government happy and just getting iPhones out the door, which is their marquee product, obviously. So,
I would say, you know, it's not necessarily an error in judgment to to pick someone at this point who isn't necessarily the next Steve Jobs, but
necessarily the next Steve Jobs, but does know how to manage an enormous ship that that Apple has become.
Mike Isaac, Mike, thank you.
Thanks for having me.
