Tim Cook's announced departure as Apple CEO — passing the role to hardware engineering chief John Ternus on September 1 — has renewed intense focus on Jobs as the original benchmark every Apple leader is measured against. Coverage is drawing direct comparisons between Jobs's founding vision and what Cook built over 15 years, with analysts and commentators now asking whether Ternus can embody both legacies simultaneously.
