After 15 years, today is Tim Cook's last day as Apple's CEO

SAPO Notícias31 August 2026 at 10:11

After 15 years at the helm of Apple, today is Tim Cook's last day as the company's CEO.

Tim Cook took the position of CEO in August 2011, after Steve Jobs made the position available.

The iconic Apple founder would die months later, in October 2011.

Cook thus succeeds a period of leadership started by Jobs himself, who co-founded the company.

Exiting a franchise should be evaluated before signing

The Brazilian franchise market exceeded R$ 300 billion in annual revenue for the first time, reaching R$ 301.7 billion in 2025, with nominal growth of 10.5% compared to the previous year. The country ended the period with 202,444 operations, 3,297 networks, and approximately 1.762 million direct jobs. The sector's growth reinforces the need to analyze what happens not only during opening and operation, but at the moment of renewing, selling, transferring, or closing a unit. Data from the Brazilian Franchising Association shows that 4% of operations were transferred during the year, while 7.4% were closed. The Franchise Law establishes that the candidate must receive the Franchise Offering Circular (COF) at least ten days before signing the contract.
