“Apple has named John Ternus as its new chief executive to replace Tim Cook who is stepping down after 15 years of leading the technology giant.”
DISPUTED
The evidence presents conflicting information regarding the succession plan. Some sources suggest Ternus is succeeding Cook, while others provide general information about Ternus's role or Tim Cook's tenure without confirming a specific succession date or replacement. Specifically, one web search mentions Ternus succeeding Cook, while Wikipedia only states Ternus is 'scheduled to succeed Cook as CEO,' and other sources do not mention a specific replacement or departure date for Cook. The claim that Cook is stepping down after 15 years is not consistently confirmed across all sources.

DISPUTED
While some web search results imply or state Cook's departure date, the evidence is not consistent. One web search mentions a date, but Wikipedia and other sources provide general biographical information about Cook's tenure but do not confirm a specific departure date of September 1.
