Tim Cook has officially announced his plans to step down as Apple CEO, handing the reins to John Ternus. The transition marks the end of an era for the tech giant, with Cook having led Apple for over a decade. The announcement came as the biggest news of the week, and arguably the year, for Apple watchers.

The calm and orchestrated transition falls directly into Cook's playbook, avoiding any sudden upheaval. New leaks have also surfaced about iOS 27, which will reportedly drop support for four iPhone models. Rumors suggest four new color options are coming for the iPhone 18 Pro lineup.

In other Apple-related developments, Netflix has frustrated Apple TV box users by dropping support for the system's native video player. The streaming giant switched to a custom player, angering customers who preferred the integrated experience.
