There are strong rumours about John Ternus taking over the reigns as early as 2026 but now a new report seems to have cooled down the rumours. Cook is expected to move on but he is unlikely to go at least before the iPhone 18 series launch in September 2026, Bloomberg has mentioned in its report.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">He has been instrumental in Apple\u2019s growth and evolution into a tech behemoth, earning trillions in market value and this is expected to give Cook enough credit in the bank to decide his exit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Tim Cook Staying, For Now<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The report cites the Financial Times piece which mentioned that Cook could be standing down from his position by July 2026 but the new details suggest otherwise. That\u2019s not all, the Bloomberg report hints at Cook continuing his stint at Apple however, with a new role of Chairman being heavily mooted when he decides to move from the CEO position at the company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">John Ternus has a strong hardware background, something that Cook doesn\u2019t have, but his marketing prowess has played a big role in the company\u2019s overall growth since taking over in 2011. This is the longest stint by any Apple CEO in its history, and Ternus will have big boots to fill and expectations will be high.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Having said that, Apple has generally been sound about its approach towards succession, and Ternus is likely to have been shepherded towards this role for many years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">We\u2019ve seen him introduce the new M-series chips over the last few years, which has given him a solid public appearance factor and leading the iPhone maker will demand more than just announcing the new products but also handle the big tasks at hand, including shaping the next few decades of the company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">If these rumours come through, the WWDC 2026 and the iPhone 18 series launch could be the last keynotes from Cook as the chief of the company. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"S Aadeetya\" title=\"S Aadeetya\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-77153e997a009dd0 jsx-585285022 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Cupertino, California, USA<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-77153e997a009dd0 jsx-585285022 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>November 24, 2025, 13:08 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-77153e997a009dd0 jsx-585285022 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/\">tech<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Tim Cook To Step Down From Apple Chief Position Next Year?
