One of these three Apple executives will probably be Tim Cook's replacement

Steve recommended Tim Cook to the Board of Directors.The one reason I can think of for Cook to stay much longer is the fact that he knows how to handle the ... let's say "mercurial" ... current White House occupant. Not a job any of the other execs would want, though having met Joz I would say he could handle him well also. Cook (mostly) gets what he wants from Trump, and that's an incredibly valuable skill that will be useful in the dark times ahead. -

Apple Smart Home Hub release pushed back to 2026
FWIW, I think the long-awaited Apple Home Hub will not look anything like a wall-mounted iPad as seen above, and look more like an Apple TV box -- a small device that connects at an industry-standard nexus point for home comfort/security, and will be controlled by ... your iPhone or iPad, which is nearly always with you or close at hand. Not all homes will be able to use this, but potentially homes built in this century could be.
Apple has been working with security systems providers for years to add HomeKit compatibility, and I think it is doing the same for home comfort systems.Ironically we've now seen proof that HomeKit compatibility can rescue a product that has been discontinued by its own manufacturer! (HomeKit may keep some Wemo devices alive after shutdown in 2026). That could be a big selling point for some consumers.
