His appointment suggests the board is prioritizing continuity in product vision and execution above other strategic shifts. The leadership change comes at a complex juncture for Apple. The company faces mounting regulatory scrutiny on both sides of the Atlantic, a maturing smartphone market, and intensifying competition in artificial intelligence and mixed reality. While its...
