苹果加速接班人计划，CEO 蒂姆·库克最早将于明年卸任

Apple Quietly Prepares for Life After Tim Cook
苹果悄然为库克时代的结束做准备

Apple is reportedly accelerating its succession planning as CEO Tim Cook could step down as early as next year, according to The Financial Times. The transition would likely occur after Apple’s January earnings report, giving new leaders time to settle before major events like WWDC in June. Cook, now 65, has led Apple since 2011, guiding its market value from $350 billion to $4 trillion. Despite this growth, the company has recently faced challenges defining its AI strategy. While no final decision has been made, Apple’s board is said to be evaluating potential successors. John Ternus, senior vice president of hardware engineering, is reportedly viewed as the frontrunner to take over the role if Cook steps aside.
据《金融时报》报道，苹果正在加速接班人计划，CEO 蒂姆·库克可能最早于明年卸任。过渡预计将在 1 月财报后进行，让新团队在 WWDC 等重要活动前稳定下来。现年 65 岁的库克自 2011 年接任以来，将苹果市值从 3500 亿美元推升至 4 万亿美元，但公司在 AI 方向上近年面临挑战。尽管尚未最终决定继任者，董事会正在评估多名候选人，其中硬件工程高级副总裁约翰·特努斯被视为最可能的接班人。
