Cook is likely to step down as soon as next year.

John Ternus, an Apple engineer, is widely viewed as a top contender to succeed Cook.

The 50-year-old's technical expertise and experience spanning two decades made him a strong choice to head the company, which is aiming to bring hardware and AI innovation.

Ternus is the Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering at Apple.

He joined Apple in 2001 as part of its product design team.

He oversees engineering for major Apple hardware like the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and AirPods.

A former competitive swimmer in college, Ternus is being widely speculated as a potential successor to Apple CEO Tim Cook.
