Apple’s New CEO Bets Big: $55M Equity Target Arrives with a $2,400 Foldable iPhone Ultra

Eight days after taking the top job, Apple’s new CEO John Ternus unveils a $2,400 foldable iPhone Ultra as part of a bold leadership package: a $3 million salary, a $2.5 million prorated restricted stock grant for fiscal 2026, and a $55 million annual equity award (75% tied to Apple’s total shareholder return relative to the S&P 500).
