According to tech journalist Gurman, Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, has recently been dealing with "intermittent hand tremors," the cause of which is still unknown. In the past several months, this occurrence has stirred up more discussions within Apple. Employees have observed this during meetings and events. Nevertheless, individuals close to Cook have asserted that he is in good health. As Cook nears his 65th birthday, the matter of who will succeed him as Apple's CEO has become a focal point of interest.

At present, John Ternus, the Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, is widely regarded as the most probable candidate to take over. He has a long - standing tenure at Apple and has been at the helm of the development of several crucial products. Previously, Cook had expressed his intention to cultivate a successor from within the ranks of Apple, hoping that the next CEO would be someone already part of the company.
