John Ternus to become Apple CEO

Posted Monday April 20, 2026 by Dave

Apple has announced that, effective September 1st, 2025, Apple's hardware chief John Ternus will take over from Tim Cook as Apple's CEO. Tim Cook will take the role of Executive Chairman of Apple's Board of Directors. John has presided over an amazing period for Apple's hardware with the transition to Apple Silicon processors marking new highs for processing power and energy efficiency. Also, effective immediately Apple executive Johny Srouji will become Apple's new chief hardware officer. This should be a very interesting time for us Mac users.

The MacBook Neo

Posted Friday March 13, 2026 by Dave

Apple has announced a new, VERY low cost laptop called the MacBook Neo. We're talking about $600 for general folk and $500 for students. It's sporting an A18 Pro processor, the same that was featured in recent top-tier iPhones and while you'd think that would mean a serious hit to performance the reviews all seem to indicate it's a solid machine. And the whole unit is much easier to repair. Definitely worth a look.
