Ternus&rsquo;s resume screams &ldquo;ship products&rdquo; — from iPod to Apple Silicon to Vision Pro. Apple clearly believes the next decade&rsquo;s core competency is still hardware-software integration, not pure software AI. But here&rsquo;s the question: Apple Intelligence has been underwhelming so far. Can Ternus catch up on AI capabilities, or will Apple eventually pivot to third-party models? Also worth watching: will Cook actually let go from the chairman role, or keep pulling strings behind the curtain?</p>
