Tim Cook Legacy Highlights as John Ternus Set to Lead Apple
Tim Cook’s 15-year run delivered a 2,150% return for Apple shareholders, setting a high bar for incoming CEO John Ternus. Some investors question Apple’s post-Jobs innovation edge, arguing products like Apple Watch and Vision Pro aren’t major growth drivers. Apple’s market cap is about $4.5 trillion, iPhone revenue rose 22% year over year in fiscal 2026, and hardware engineering leadership is set to pass to Ternus on Sept. 1, 2026.
