Apple's CEO Tim Cook will step down in September, handing over the reins to hardware chief John Ternus. The move marks a significant change for the tech giant, which has been shaped by Cook's leadership over the past decade.
Ternus inherits one of the most durable businesses in tech, but he'll also face new challenges, including pressure on Apple's 30% App Store cut and changes to its developer ecosystem.
As Ternus takes the helm, startups will be watching closely to see how his leadership impacts their relationships with Apple. The company has been a major player in shaping the tech industry, and its influence extends far beyond its own products.
