John Ternus, 51, has worked at Apple for half his life. For over 25 years he has helped build the iPad, AirPods, and many generations of iPhones and Apple Watches. Colleagues describe him as collaborative, risk-averse, detail-oriented, and even-keeled; a "product guy" who is a safe pair of hands.
Now those hands will guide the reins of the world's third most valuable company, after he was named the incoming CEO on Monday.
