Tim Cook will step down as Apple’s CEO on September 1, 2026, becoming executive chairman, while John Ternus, senior vice president of Hardware Engineering, will become the new CEO.

The transition marks the end of Cook’s 15-year tenure during which Apple grew substantially in services and wearables, but also faced criticism for software decline and lack of innovation.
