A new era is on the way for Apple as Tim Cook plans to step down from his CEO role in September, handing the reins to hardware chief John Ternus. <\/p>\n
Ternus may be inheriting one of the most durable businesses in tech, but he\u2019s also stepping into a very different ecosystem than the one Cook spent decades shaping. The App Store\u2019s 30% cut is under pressure, the behind-the-scenes power Apple once held over developers is being challenged, and vibe-coded apps are changing what it means to build on Apple\u2019s platform. <\/p>\n
On this episode of TechCrunch\u2019s Equity podcast, hosts Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O\u2019Kane dig into what this transition means for startups and a closer look at some of the week\u2019s biggest deals \u2014 including SpaceX’s $60B option on Cursor. <\/p>\n
