Apple’s Cook Says He’s ‘Healthy’; Ternus Promises AI Products

Apple Inc.’s Tim Cook, who’s stepping down as chief executive officer later this year, told employees on Tuesday that he is “healthy” and plans to serve as executive chairman for a long time.

Cook made the comments in an all-hands meeting with staff, following the announcement that he will pass the reins to hardware chief John Ternus on Sept. 1. The two executives held the gathering in the Steve Jobs Theater at the company’s headquarters, with the discussion spanning artificial intelligence, product plans and design.
