Apple has named John Ternus as its next chief executive, replacing Tim Cook after 15 years in the role. Ternus will take charge on September 1. Cook will become executive chairman and help with the transition. Cook became CEO in 2011 after co-founder Steve Jobs stepped down. During Cook’s tenure, Apple became one of the world’s most valuable companies. Ternus has worked at Apple for 25 years and led hardware engineering. Cook called him a “visionary” leader and said he is the right person to guide Apple’s future. (PC: BBC)
