What stands out
Fortune's sit-down on Apple frames a simple but heavy question: John Ternus, the engineer behind much of Apple’s hardware, now has to do more than ship incremental improvements, he has to find a genuine new breakthrough. Ruth Umoh and Ellie Austin make the right point, which is that running Apple today is less about supply chains and more about restoring growth momentum for a company that already has the world watching every move. For investors this is about leadership style meeting the math of a very large business.
