Apple CEO Tim Cook isn’t going anywhere.
In an interview with ABC’s Good Morning America that aired this week, the 65-year-old CEO dismissed rumors that he is preparing to retire soon. When asked directly about whether he planned to step aside, Cook told ABC, “No, I didn’t say that. I haven’t said that.”
“I love what I do deeply,” Cook elaborated. “Twenty-eight years ago, I walked into Apple, and I’ve loved every day of it since.”
The speculation has been fueled by recent senior departures in Apple’s AI, legal and design units, as well as questions about Apple’s pace in AI development.
