Apple will install John Ternus as CEO on September 1, 2026, according to 9to5Mac. The report said the timing puts Ternus in place just before Apple's biggest product launch event of the year, which 9to5Mac linked to the expected iPhone 18 release cycle.
9to5Mac said more than 10 new Apple products are rumored to be the first devices launched under Ternus as CEO. The source excerpt did not list the products, device names, specifications, pricing, eSIM support, or launch countries.
Apple device launches matter to the eSIM market because iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch models are major eSIM-capable product lines in multiple countries. This report, however, focused on executive timing and rumored product launches rather than confirmed eSIM features, remote SIM provisioning (RSP, the technology used to download and manage eSIM profiles), or device certification details.
