He continued:
John Ternus has the mind of an engineer, the soul of an innovator, and the heart to lead with integrity and with honor.
He is a visionary whose contributions to Apple over 25 years are already too numerous to count, and he is without question the right person to lead Apple into the future.
I could not be more confident in his abilities and his character, and I look forward to working closely with him on this transition and in my new role as executive chairman.
