John Ternus set to re-establish importance of Apple's design team when he takes over as CEO: report

Mark Gurman reports that incoming Apple CEO John Ternus plans to push design back to the center of Apple's decision-making — a shift from the Cook era, where finance and operations quietly took the wheel after Jony Ive left. If true, this is a meaningful inflection point for everyone who's been watching Apple's products feel a little more committee-approved and a little less considered. Whether that plays out in the hardware you actually buy remains to be seen, but it's the right instinct.
