      Ternus indicates that Apple will intensify its focus on AI while retaining its unique identity.

      Apple's future CEO, Jorn Ternus, is expressing more confidence regarding AI, yet he does not seem inclined to reshape the company to mirror its competitors. As reported by Bloomberg, he informed employees during an all-hands meeting that artificial intelligence will unlock “almost unlimited potential” for Apple and create entirely new opportunities across its products and services.

      At the same time, he emphasized that Apple will continue to prioritize design and maintain its core identity. It’s worth noting that Apple has announced Ternus will become CEO on September 1, 2026, with Tim Cook transitioning to the role of executive chairman.

      What is Apple’s new CEO promising?

      Historically, Apple has approached the topic of AI with caution, sometimes appearing to lag behind tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI. However, Ternus seems eager to convey a more optimistic stance on AI.

      According to Bloomberg, he expressed excitement about assuming his new role at this pivotal time, describing it as the most thrilling period of his career at Apple for product and service development. As the next CEO, he is taking over a company that is still being closely evaluated based on its performance in AI, so his comments signal the areas he intends to focus on.

      But not everything is changing.

      Despite the more assertive language around AI, Ternus did not suggest a significant change to Apple’s identity. The company is not suddenly becoming AI-focused. He mentioned that certain aspects “can never change and won’t change,” affirming that Apple’s commitments to privacy, security, and environmental initiatives will remain strong, and that its mission and character will persist under his leadership.

      Thus, the future Apple CEO appears to be communicating to both employees and customers that Apple can enhance its AI efforts without relinquishing the characteristics it believes differentiate it from other companies in the industry. For a business that has long positioned itself at the intersection of hardware, software, privacy, and industrial design, this reassurance may be as critical as any promises related to AI.

      Apple addresses a vulnerability that allowed the FBI to retrieve texts from notifications history.

      Apple's notification flaw not only impacted disappearing messages; it stored the content of any notification for up to a month, creating an unexpected loophole in a standard iOS feature.

      Deleting a message should mean it's erased, right? Apparently, the iPhone's notification database didn't get that memo. On April 22, 2026, Apple issued a security update for iPhones and iPads, discreetly fixing a bug that permitted law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, to access messages users believed they had deleted.
