팀 쿡, 임원 회장 역할 발표

Tim Cook told employees he plans to be at Apple “for a long time” in his new role as executive chairman. Cook shared the information in an all‑hands meeting detailed by Bloomberg.

“I am healthy. My energy is high, and I plan to be in this role for a long time,” said Cook. He added that he will support current hardware engineering chief John Ternus in any way necessary when Ternus takes over as CEO, and he plans to continue offering knowledge and experience whenever needed. “Apple will be my top priority. It’s who I am at my core, and I can’t imagine it any other way.”

“저는 건강합니다. 에너지가 넘치고, 이 역할을 오랫동안 수행할 계획입니다.”라고 쿡은 말했습니다. 그는 또한 테르누스가 CEO로 임명될 때 현재 하드웨어 엔지니어링 책임자인 존 테르누스를 필요에 따라 전폭적으로 지원할 것이며, 필요할 때마다 지식과 경험을 계속 제공할 것이라고 덧붙였습니다. “애플은 저의 최우선 과제입니다. 그것이 제 정체성이며, 다른 방식으로는 상상할 수 없습니다.”

Transition Details

전환 세부 사항

Cook is stepping down from his role as Apple CEO, handing the company over to Ternus. Apple announced the upcoming change yesterday, stating that Cook will remain on as executive chairman, where he will “assist with certain aspects of the company, including engaging with policymakers around the world.”

Reasons for the Change

변화 이유

During the meeting, Cook told employees that he believes he can help strengthen Apple’s global relationships. When asked why he is stepping down now, Cook said it was a good time because Apple is “doing great,” the product lineup is “incredible,” and Ternus is ready for the role. “These three things all intersected, and they intersect now. And so now was the time,” he added.

Cook will remain CEO through September 1, 2026, after which he will move into his new role and Ternus will assume the CEO position. Cook will see Apple through WWDC, but Ternus will be leading the company by the time the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Fold launch.
