Apple CEO Tim Cook attended the 81st Venice International Film Festival to promote the upcoming Apple TV+ series “Disclaimer.” Cook mingled with Hollywood celebrities, including Cate Blanchett, Alfonso Cuaron, and George Clooney, during the festival. This appearance comes amid speculation about Cook’s potential retirement and Apple’s ongoing success under his leadership.
With Tim Cook approaching retirement age, speculation has been swirling about his potential successor. According to a Bloomberg report, John Ternus, the company’s hardware engineering chief, is the frontrunner. As the head of engineering for Apple’s iPad, AirPods, and iPhone series, Ternus has earned the respect of Cook and is well-liked within the company. Other potential candidates include Jeff Williams (Chief Operating Officer), Craig Federighi (Senior Vice President – Software Engineering), Deirdre O’Brien (Senior Vice President – Retail), Phil Schiller (Apple Fellow), and Dan Riccio (Senior Vice President – Hardware Engineering).
Apple’s upcoming ‘Let Loose’ event on May 7th is highly anticipated to unveil new iPad models. Additionally, CEO Tim Cook’s recent social media post hints at the introduction of a new Apple Pencil accessory.
