What we can confirm
Apple’s own newsroom and leadership pages show that Tim Cook is the CEO through the current transition period, with John Ternus scheduled to become CEO on September 1, 2026.[1][4][8][9] Reputable secondary coverage also reports that Cook is stepping down and that the change takes effect on that date, which means the claim is true as of now.[2][5]
