Tim Cook has a new deputy but Apple’s next CEO is probably still someone else

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2026-02-03 16:16:56

Jeff Williams, often considered Tim Cook’s successor, is leaving Apple. Sabih Khan, a 30-year veteran of the company, is Apple’s next chief operating officer. Does Khan taking Cook’s old job make him CEO-designate? Jeff Williams retiring certainly clears the path for Khan to climb up the succession planning ladder. However, I would wager that Apple’s CEO succession plan isn’t changing. Jeff Williams retires and Sabih Khan steps up Jeff Williams, who has been called Tim Cook’s Tim Cook, has alw

gizmodo.com Gizmodo Deals 2026-02-03 17:40:42

Apple has come a significant distance in reducing the MacBook Air’s price, and Amazon is pushing the value even harder on Prime Day. As things stand now, Prime members can acquire the 2025 MacBook Air with the performance-oriented M4 chip for just $849 in the 256GB version (down from $999).

ByteDance reportedly plans to release US-specific version of CapCut

In Brief TikTok owner ByteDance is planning to move U.S. users to a new version of CapCut, its video editing app, according to a report from Business Insider. Launching a U.S.-specific app could be part of the company’s broader plan to comply with a 2024 law requiring ByteDance to divest from TikTok and its other U.S. assets, or risk being forced to cease operations in the country.

The OnePlus Nord 5's Marble Design Is My Favorite Thing About This Phone

It's a little shallow that my favorite thing about the OnePlus Nord 5 -- and its cheaper sibling the Nord CE5 -- is the design on the back of the phone. But in a world where most budget-focused phones are identical gray slabs, it's refreshing to see something a bit different. The back of the Nord 5 has an unusual design that looks like marble.
