As of April 24, 2026, Johny Srouji, Apple's Senior Vice President of Hardware Technologies, is taking on a larger role as Chief Hardware Officer. This move comes as John Ternus transitions to CEO, succeeding Tim Cook, who is stepping down.
Srouji has been instrumental in developing Apple's custom silicon, including the M-series chips, and will now oversee broader hardware strategy. The change was announced internally and reflects Apple's continued focus on integrated hardware and software.
No further details on Srouji's specific new duties or timeline have been officially released. Apple has not commented publicly on the transition beyond internal communications.
