Tim Cook Isn’t Going Anywhere — And Might Be Apple’s Next Chairman
So, Jeff Williams (Apple’s longtime COO) is retiring this year, and it looks like the biggest leadership shakeup at Apple in a decade is officially happening. But Tim Cook? Still very much in charge — and honestly, probably about to gain more power as chairman.
Despite Apple’s stock being down this year and a bunch of criticism around their slow AI rollout, aging product lineup, and design losing its soul, the board clearly still believes Cook is the guy. And to be fair, Apple has grown like crazy under his leadership — up 1,500% since he became CEO in 2011.
Still, it’s wild to think how much of Apple’s future now hinges on Cook’s timeline. Half of his direct execs are over 60. The old guard is leaving, and there's no obvious next-in-line. If Cook steps into the chairman role, he could shape Apple’s direction for years even after stepping down as CEO.
Feels like the end of an era is creeping closer. The question is… what comes next?
