Tim Cook passes the baton to John Ternus after 15 years at the helm of Apple. What "legacy" does he leave to the new CEO?

SAPO Tek31 August 2026 at 18:44

Tim Cook is passing the baton of Apple's leadership to John Ternus after 15 years at the helm of the tech company. This transition marks the end of an era for the Cupertino giant.

The new CEO, John Ternus, finds a company very different from the one Tim Cook received from Steve Jobs. Apple has transformed significantly over these 15 years under Cook's leadership.

Ternus will now have to face several important challenges. One of them is the "race" for artificial intelligence, a field where Apple needs to establish itself against the competition. Additionally, he will need to find a product capable of replicating the transformative impact that the iPhone had on the market.

STPT demands reinvestment of Altice's surplus value in salaries and blocks early departures

The Union of Workers of the Altice Group in Portugal (STPT) defended that the company should distribute productivity gains with workers through salary increases, performance bonuses and compensations, demanding an end to the early departures of experienced workers. The union considers that salaries at Altice Portugal remain below the European average and proposes a professional valorization strategy with continuous training in areas such as artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, merit-based careers and flexible schedules. The union structure emphasizes that negotiations should be based on concrete economic indicators, such as inflation and financial performance, but warns that demanding increases disconnected from the company's reality is not sustainable.
