The biggest question for Apple's new CEO: Does he need an iPhone for the AI era?

"Tim Cook's leadership resulted in the sale of 3 billion iPhones and a market value increase from $300 billion to $4 trillion over 15 years, demonstrating effective management without a signature product innovation."

"John Ternus distinguished himself by overseeing the expansion of the iPad line and the development of AirPods and the company's first 5G phones, showcasing his engineering expertise."

"The question remains whether Ternus's operational skills are sufficient for the CEO role, especially as the AI era may change the landscape of technology and consumer products."

John Ternus, the new CEO of Apple, is not a product innovator like Steve Jobs, similar to Tim Cook.

Ternus has a strong engineering background, overseeing the expansion of the iPad line and the development of AirPods and 5G phones. The effectiveness of his operational skills as CEO remains to be seen, especially in the context of the emerging AI era, which may redefine Apple's future.
