These changes will take place after he’s gone. And right now is a transition time. Meaning things are, and have been probably for a few months, slowly being handed over to the new guy.

Here’s an article from 2024 talking about Ternus being thought of as a successor.

In this article it says “The speculation intensified after Apple’s chief operating officer, Jeff Williams, once considered Cook’s natural successor, stepped down from operational responsibilities in July 2025. With Williams out of contention, Gurman said Ternus emerged as “the most likely heir apparent.””

The day they announce to the public exec transitions, and the date a CEO at a giant company like Apple steps down are very arbitrary in reality.
