TechCrunch reports on why Apple removed Cal AI from the App Store over what it described as “multiple rule violations.” Here are the details.

Apple’s Tim Cook and John Ternus held an all-hands meeting with employees today in Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park, according to Bloomberg. The meeting comes one day after the announcement that Ternus will take over as Apple CEO later this year.

During the meeting, Cook offered more insight into why he decided to begin the transition now — and what his plans are for his role as Apple’s executive chairman.

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.

Apple has just published a new support document that warns of a network security change coming in iOS 27, macOS 27, and more with action steps for IT administrators.

Tim Cook is officially stepping down as Apple CEO this year, with John Ternus taking his place. Here’s what Cook recently said his words of advice will be to Apple’s next CEO.

Apple CEO Tim Cook is giving up the title and passing the torch to John Ternus on September 1.

Unsurprisingly, Cook is taking on the role of board executive chairman, a position in which Cook is expected to remain very active as Apple’s chief global diplomat. Retiring as CEO? Yes. But retiring into the sunset? Hardly. You can take Tim at his word when he says he can’t imagine life without Apple.

As Apple’s CEO transition shifts into the public-facing phase, I couldn’t help but revisit some of the official press material from the previous changing of the guard.

That happened under very different circumstances, of course, with Steve Jobs at the end of his life. It’s incredibly touching to revisit now. There are also echoes of Steve’s endorsement of Tim Cook in Tim’s endorsement of the next Apple CEO, John Ternus.

John Ternus is Apple’s incoming CEO, and according to a Bloomberg report, he has already started to overhaul Apple’s internal operations using AI.

Apple announced Monday that Tim Cook will step down as CEO later this year, with John Ternus set to take over on September 1. Ternus has been at Apple for over 25 years and has played a pivotal role in every Apple product category since joining.

Here’s everything you need to know about Apple’s next CEO, widely described as a “super nice guy” with an engineering and product background.

John Ternus officially starts as Apple CEO on September 1, 2026, just ahead of the company’s biggest product launch event of the year. Here are the 10+ new Apple products rumored to be the first launched under Ternus as CEO.

Apple TV has just announced the return of one of its biggest sci-fi hits: Silo season 3 is coming this summer.

Beats has two pieces of news to share today. First, the company has unveiled the next step in its partnership with K-pop star JENNIE: a new special-edition pair of Beats Solo 4 in Onyx Black.

The Apple subsidiary is also expanding its lineup of USB-C cables…

Speculation about Tim Cook’s retirement date intensified when he turned 65 in November of last year, and this was quickly followed by Apple testing the waters for John Ternus as his replacement this year.

That test went very well indeed, with the company last month laying further groundwork for yesterday’s announcement …

Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station (DCS) was the first to suggest that Apple was working on a 200MP camera module for a future iPhone. This would be a huge increase in resolution over the 48MP sensors used in current models.

There have been conflicting rumors since then about timings, but it now seems everyone is aligned on a 2028 release …

A supposed Tim Cook retirement leak late last year indicated that hardware head John Ternus was Apple’s planned successor and that the announcement would be made ahead of WWDC 2026 in June.

I wrote at the time that this was very clearly a trial balloon by the company in order to test reaction to the plan, and we can now see that this indeed paved the way for yesterday’s announcement …
