Tim Cook’s Apple era and what lies ahead for John Ternus

The Apple rumors were once again true. This week, the company announced that Tim Cook would step down as CEO on September 1. He will be replaced by John Ternus, who currently serves as senior vice president of hardware engineering at Apple. In this episode, Engadget’s Devindra and Nathan Ingraham discuss Cook’s legacy as Apple CEO and pontificate on how Ternus could make a difference. We’re going from Apple run by a logistics guru to Apple run by a product and engineering wizard. This will surely have an impact on future products.
