Tim Cook visited Apple’s Battersea campus in London this week, mingling with King Charles as part of the company’s new partnership with The King’s Trust. At the Battersea headquarters, Cook sat down with The Independent for an in-depth interview covering the partnership and his first month as Apple’s executive chairman.
Cook stepped down as Apple CEO last month, passing the torch to John Ternus. Cook described the transition as “actually started years ago,” calling it “the best transition ever” and saying everything went “exactly the way I had envisioned it.” Ternus’s CEO tenure began with the launch of the i Phone Duo, which Cook said was fully planned to give Ternus “some wind at his back.”
As executive chairman, Cook said he is focused on “worldwide policy,” emphasizing the “incredible level of trust” between him and Ternus. While he helps Ternus “in any way he sees fit,” he was clear: “I’m not meddling. I’m not a meddler.” When asked what advice he has given Ternus, Cook’s answer was simple: “Don’t mimic me.”
