Tim Cook Explains Why He Stepped Down as Apple CEO Before iPhone Duo Launch

Tim Cook has stepped down as Apple CEO, with former hardware engineering chief John Ternus succeeding him on September 1. Cook, now executive chairman, stated the transition began years ago to serve as a textbook example. He emphasized a relationship of trust with Ternus, asserting he is not meddling in operations. Cook is currently focusing on worldwide policy and interfacing with governments to advocate for change, while supporting Ternus in any way the new CEO deems fit.
