This week, the tech world was abuzz with the announcement that Tim Cook will step down as Apple’s CEO, with John Ternus set to take over on September 1, 2026. Cook will transition to the role of executive chairman, focusing on global policy engagement. Meanwhile, Apple’s chip leader, Johny Srouji, will expand his responsibilities as Chief Hardware Officer. In other news, the iPhone 18 Pro will debut with four color options, including a new Dark Cherry. However, the global chip shortage is likely to delay the launch of the touch screen-equipped MacBook Pro and new Mac Studio models until early 2027. Additionally, Apple is reportedly downgrading the iPhone 18’s specifications to align with the low-cost iPhone 18e, and iOS 27 will drop support for several older iPhone models. Finally, macOS 27 will mark the end of support for Intel-based Macs, requiring Apple silicon for future updates.
