Tim Cook<\/a> has been CEO for 15 years and is about to step down on September 1, so Apple threw a little party in his honor on August 23 with 200 people in attendance. <\/p>\n

Apple likes to throw a party<\/a> on occasion, and the latest is a kind of going away\/anniversary present for outgoing CEO Tim Cook. He’s not really going anywhere<\/a> though, as he’s sticking around as Executive Chairman and acting as a kind of government liaison<\/a>. <\/p>\n

A report<\/a> from The Information first covered<\/a> by MacRumors details the party thrown at Apple Park<\/a> for Tim Cook. Around 200 people attended with OneRepublic performing on August 23. The date is significant because Cook became CEO 15 years ago today<\/a> and steps down on September 1. <\/p>\n

There were multiple speakers including Jobs’ widow Laurene Powell Jobs<\/a>, former COO Jeff Williams<\/a>, services chief Eddy Cue<\/a>, and incoming CEO John Ternus<\/a>. Cook himself wants his legacy to be defined by others and has avoided speaking on his time at Apple beyond hoping he will be remembered<\/a> as a good and decent man. <\/p>\n

Apple Park will soon be packed with another kind of audience for the iPhone<\/a> event. An invitation for that Apple Event<\/a> is expected to go out at any day now, and will likely be set for September 9. <\/p>\n

John Ternus will have big shoes to fill, as Cook grew Apple by trillions of dollars<\/a> and established the supply chain juggernaut it is today. There will be some early challenges as Ternus has to contend with retiring leadership<\/a>, the AI bubble<\/a>, and several new product lines<\/a> coming in the next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tim Cook has been CEO for 15 years and is about to step down on September 1, so…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":603769,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[93,61,60,278],"class_list":["post-603768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=603768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603768\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/603769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=603768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=603768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=603768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
