@atlasberry008: Tim Cook's first day as CEO: August 24, 2011, Apple worth $348 billion, and the entire world convinced nobody could follow Steve Jobs. His last day: Apple touched $5 trillion in July, total shareholder return of 2,162% per Apple's own proxy. No single Jobs-level product — just Apple Watch, AirPods, Apple Silicon, and a $120 billion services business. The operator won. Now John Ternus takes over, and the profile is reversed: 25 years in hardware engineering, worked under Jobs, shipped the iPhone Air. Apple is betting the next era needs a builder — while facing an AI gap, a memory crunch, an onshoring deadline, and OpenAI building hardware with Jony Ive. September 9, we find out if "he got game."
