The Apple rumors were true, once again. This week, the company announced that Tim Cook will be stepping down from his CEO role on September 1. Replacing him will be John Ternus, who currently serves as Apple’s SVP of hardware engineering. In this episode, Devindra and Engadget’s Nathan Ingraham discuss Cook’s legacy as Apple’s CEO, and pontificate about how Ternus may change things. We’re going from Apple being led by a logistics guru, to Apple being driven by a product and engineering wizard. Surely, that will have some impact on future products.
