Apple CEO Tim Cook and incoming CEO John Ternus reportedly shared remarks today at an all-hands Apple meeting. Cook’s words were reported here, while Ternus’s comments are outlined below. more…07:39 pmDon’t worry, Tim Cook is fine, and he’s not leaving Apple
Macworld Tim Cook isn’t sick. He’s not going to another company. He’s just not going to be CEO any longer. That’s the message from an all-hand meeting with Apple Staff, according to a report from Bloomberg. According to the report, Cook said, “I’m excited to continue my journey at Apple as executive chairman…I am healthy. My energy is high, and I plan to be in this new role for a long time.” Cook said he will be there as a sounding board or for advice as needed, but “there can only be one CEO at a time.” So Ternus will be running the show. In his new role as executive chairman, Cook will work more on global relations as Apple faces challenges—legal and otherwise—with world governments, regulatory bodies, suppliers, and more. While Cook stepping down as CEO was expected, it happened a little earlier than most anticipated. He said the timing was just right for a “best-ever transition” where everything was intersecting: Apple’s business is thriving, the roadmap is great, and Ternus is ready to take on the CEO role. One wonders if Tim Cook will headline the WWDC keynote on June 8, as he is still the CEO until September 1. Now that Ternus is known to be the incoming CEO, will he take center stage instead? Will Tim Cook use the WWDC keynote to pass the baton very visibly? But what we do know is Cook will be present and looks to remain a figure behind the scenes for some time to come.07:28 pmThe AirPods 4 Is $30 off

People love to compare Tim Cook’s tenure to that of Steve Jobs’. They say that Apple hasn’t been able to innovate under Tim Cook and that he never had his iPhone-level moment. In Cook’s defense, no other company or CEO has had an iPhone-level moment since that 2007 announcement. But just because he never had his iPhone moment doesn’t mean nothing happened. Under Tim Cook, Apple didn’t just coast. It built on what Steve Jobs created, and instead of chasing one massive breakthrough, Apple built multiple billion-dollar businesses, expanded into new categories, and turned its ecosystem into one of the most powerful in tech. Think about it, AirPods, Apple Watch, the transition from Intel to Apple silicon, all market disruptors that happened under Tim Cook. So let’s take a look back and see everything from the Tim Cook era. more…06:00 pmOur favorite Apple-beating USB-C cables are now longer and faster
Macworld Last year, we declared that we had switched from Apple’s boring white charging cables to a different make that were more reliable, longer, and available in a wider range of colors for the same price. That brand was Apple’s own Beats, and almost a year to the day after Macworld’s cable conversion the company has a new set of colorful cables that are even longer and now rated to charge devices at a speed up to 240W. The reinforced, tangle-free woven Beats USB-C to USB-C cable now comes in a new 3-meter (10-foot) length, twice the previous 1.5m (5ft). Apple’s 60W cable is available at a length of just 1 meter and its 240W cable at only 2 meters (6.6 feet). Simon Jary The new Beats 10ft cable is available in the same four Beats colors—Bolt Black, Surge Stone, Nitro Navy, and Rapid Red—compared to Apple’s trademark white. You can order this new 10-foot, 240W Beats cable now at apple.com for $29.99 / £29.99. The 1.5m version is still available for $19 / £19 in Black, Red, and Stone, and is also available in a Black twin-pack for $34.99. It remains at a 60W maximum speed. Beats continues to sell a 20cm (8-inch) USB-C 60W cable in black only, for users who want to reduce cable clutter from their charging or synching scenario. Indeed, Beats sells 1.5m and 20cm cables for not just USB-C to USB-C but USB-C to Lightning (for owners of iPhones older than the 15 and various other older Apple devices such as AirPods, wireless keyboards and mice and more) as well as USB-A to USB-C. Beats 60W is fine for iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks such as the Neo and Air. Owners of the MacBook Pro would be better advised to buy cables that can charge at speeds of 100W or more, such as this Beats 240W model.
