· Technology · TechCrunch
Tim Cook has stepped down as Apple CEO, with former hardware chief John Ternus taking over the role this week. Cook will remain at Apple as Executive Chairman, focusing on policy relationships and government-facing work. Ternus's first internal memo promised a "huge launch next week," putting Apple's next iPhone event on his desk before he has fully settled in.

The episode also addresses how much patience shareholders will give him to define his own direction at the company.
