The Tim Cook Retirement Rumor Mill: A Saga Without an End?

Earlier this month, major outlets Reuters and Financial Times reported that Apple’s head, Tim Cook, could soon vacate his position. Renowned Bloomberg journalist and insider Mark Gurman claims this will not happen. Photo WCCF Tech. Apple’s CEO Tim Cook is not planning to retire in the near future, and recent reports of his departure in the first half of next year are simply premature. According to Gurman, Cook will remain Apple’s head at least until the end of Donald Trump’s presidential term, that is, at least until the end of 2028. The reason for tying this to the reporting system is unclear. Naturally, in this case, we have information from different sources, and all are considered quite reliable. However, Gurman specializes specifically in Apple. Over the years, he has accurately pointed to dates of new announcements, described various new Apple devices, and so on.

As of November 2025, there have been no formal announcements or decisions from Apple or Tim Cook himself regarding any changes in his leadership. Tim Cook, known for his strategic clarity, continues to focus on long-term plans, emphasizing development in new technologies such as augmented reality, electric vehicles, and sustainability initiatives, all of which are expected to shape the company’s trajectory well into the future.

Under Cook’s leadership, Apple is set to further its endeavors into the automotive and health sectors, aiming for a robust expansion, mirroring previous successful ventures into wearables and services. This is anticipated to not only enhance Apple’s innovative reputation but also solidify its financial robustness, keeping the firm at the forefront of global tech innovation beyond 2028.
