[^5]\n\nApple's yearly profit now tops $100bn, the company is worth about $4.5tn, and it has notched record revenue from its iPhones this year, boosted by renewed demand in China. [^6]\n\nJohn Ternus started at Apple in 2001 and assumed the role of vice-president of hardware engineering in 2013, then head of the department in 2021. [^7]\n\nApple chose John Ternus for his extensive internal experience and understanding of the company's design culture and operational processes.
