techApr 21, 202638164
President Donald Trump again called Apple CEO Tim Cook "Tim Apple" on Tuesday, boasted that he had consulted with "Tim Apple" about the company, and lobbed a jab at the late Steve Jobs. Apple announced that John Ternus will become CEO and that Tim Cook will transition to executive chairman while remaining CEO until Sept. 1. The leadership change ends Cook's 15-year run as Apple's chief executive and places the "Tim Apple" remark squarely in his final months leading the company.
