US President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to commend Tim Cook, who recently announced he would step down as Apple CEO after a 15-year tenure. Trump described Cook as an incredible leader and recalled their initial phone call during his presidency, humorously mentioning how impressed he was to receive a call from 'Tim Apple.' He noted that Cook had faced challenges that only a president could help resolve, reinforcing their collaborative relationship. Cook, who succeeded the late Steve Jobs, will be replaced by John Ternus, Apple's senior vice president of hardware engineering. In his farewell statement, Cook expressed gratitude for the privilege of leading Apple and highlighted the company's achievements during his leadership, including a significant $100 billion investment in American manufacturing announced last year. This transition marks a significant moment for Apple as it shifts leadership to Ternus.
