Tim Cook is stepping down. What happens to Apple now?

Tim Cook plans to step down as CEO next September. Handing over the reins to hardware chief John Ternos.

Ternus may be inheriting one of the most sustainable companies in technology, but it’s also entering a very different ecosystem than the one Cook spent decades shaping. The 30% cut in the App Store is under pressure, and the behind-the-scenes power Apple has over developers is being challenged. Bio-coded apps are changing what it means to build on the Apple platform.

Watch as on TechCrunch justice Podcast hosts Kirsten Korosek, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane dive into what this shift means for startups and take a closer look at some of the week’s biggest deals — including SpaceX’s $60 billion option on Cursor.
