A Bloomberg report suggests incoming Apple CEO John Ternus plans a major design shake-up to revive bold, Ive-era aesthetics, but early remarks indicate a continued emphasis on design and continuity rather than a radical overhaul as Apple transitions from the Cook era.
Bloomberg’s Power On says Apple’s design influence could regain prominence under new CEO John Ternus, who has been engaging with the industrial design group to reverse the Cook-era shift after Jony Ive’s departure; with no senior design role today, Ternus aims to restore design authority as he prepares to take the helm, including shaping next‑gen products like a foldable iPhone and highlighting milestones such as the MacBook Neo.
Ahead of the WWDC 2026 keynote at 10 a.m. PT, Tim Cook posted a short video in which celebrities including Lainey Wilson and Rhea Seehorn say good morning in different ways, ending with Cook’s signature line and a note that John Ternus will become CEO on Sept. 1, making this likely Cook’s final WWDC as Apple’s leader.
Apple, under new CEO John Ternus, is trimming its head-mounted hardware plans, reportedly killing Vision Air and Display glasses and narrowing the roadmap to two remaining glasses: AI glasses due in 2027 and Apple Glass AR by the end of the decade, with a Vision Pro follow-up in testing but described as “on ice.” The shift favors mass-market, AI-enabled wearables over an expensive headset, though WWDC may reveal further direction.
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports Apple has drastically trimmed its Vision lineup, leaving only two active projects: display-less AI glasses (2027) and display-equipped AR/XR glasses (2029), with the overhaul reportedly signed off by John Ternus; the Vision Pro successor appears off the roadmap for now, and WWDC is anticipated to reveal more about visionOS 27.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that under incoming CEO John Ternus Apple may shift away from Tim Cook’s shareholder-first model and instead retain more cash for major acquisitions, talent, and expanded R&D, including AI infrastructure.

Critics caution against overhyping AI, while supporters argue this could position Apple to break new ground beyond incremental updates.

Tom’s Guide editor Mark Spoonauer interviews Apple hardware chief John Ternus just before he becomes Apple’s CEO, sharing five standout quotes that sketch the company’s coming era: focus on using technology to ship amazing products rather than chasing AI hype; AI’s real-world applications (like live translation on AirPods); the MacBook Neo’s ground-up redesign with an A18 chip and a new trackpad/enclosure; a stance that macOS and iPadOS should remain distinct; and Vision Pro's place in the early stages of spatial computing, plus a cryptic note about his favorite Apple product as he prepares to lead the company.
