The other day, I was watching a video by fpt.(@FrontPageTech) entitled Tim Cook is Leaving Apple from Mar 12, and honestly, seeing this news today, I had to go back and rewatch it again and it strikes hard on me, especially at the linked time (https://youtu.be/8xo4uG7YpJI?si=eHP5yyEOFGn85ajv&t=278). At 6:46, Jon Prosser said: John Ternus is the next CEO of Apple.
