The future of Apple looks a lot like its past judging by how the company’s outgoing CEO Tim Cook and his successor John Ternus showed up at the Ted Lasso Season 4 premiere wearing virtually identical outfits — navy suits, white unbuttoned shirts and Believe pins on the lapel.
For Cook, this was the last Apple TV premiere as an Apple CEO. For hardware engineer Ternus, who is taking over the job on September 1, it was the first since the transition was announced.
The occasion made Cook reflective.
“I feel so much gratitude to have been the CEO of Apple for 15 years and to work with all of the people that I get to work with, it’s a privilege of a lifetime,” he told Deadline in a joint red carpet interview with Ternus. >>>Watch
