In this week's Sunday Reboot, sudden top-table rule changes dominate Apple's transition. John Ternus is now the CEO, taking over from Tim Cook, who moves to executive chairman of the board. The multi-month transition process has almost concluded, with Ternus assuming the mantle at the top of the Apple executive food chain.

Other key changes include Apple Fellow Phil Schiller reducing his workload and stepping down from running the App Store, and former CFO Luca Maestri relinquishing Corporate Services duties to current CFO Kevan Parekh. While these shifts signal a new era, they are not expected to cause a mass exodus, as the transition has been ongoing for months. Apple's new leadership approach is described as steady and cautious, akin to steering a cruise ship, focusing on small adjustments rather than radical moves.

The ocean liner management style suggests Ternus will make incremental changes to how the company functions, prioritizing stability over disruption as he takes control.
