John Ternus Is Apple's Next CEO. The Real Story Is AI.

Apple named John Ternus CEO on April 20, 2026. The press called it smooth succession. The sharper read is that Apple already conceded its AI strategy in January with a $1 billion a year Gemini deal, and Ternus is the CEO you pick to ship that concession cleanly.
