In October 2011, Tim Cook walked onto the stage in Cupertino for his first keynote as CEO of Apple, just weeks after succeeding Steve Jobs.
Over the next 15 years, Cook led Apple through a period of massive growth, turning it into one of the most valuable companies in the world while expanding into services and new product categories.
Now, Cook is set to step down as CEO, with John Ternus expected to take over in September 2026, marking a planned transition as Apple moves into its next phase focused on long-term innovation and growth.
