various crises that are inevitably going to hit.

I mean, look, this is not going to be an easy job and it's not going to be an easy time.

I mean, you know, just looking at what's happened in the past year alone, you know, it's been a tough time to kind of... It's been a tough time to be, I suppose, the top of a tech company.

And that is in no way me saying, you know, poor tech executives.

I'm sure they cry into their pile of money every night.

But I do think that...

You know, John Turner is going to be the chief executive of Apple.

He is going to have that role as much as Tim Cook did.

And, you know, if Tim Cook is still part of the leadership team, that will be a support rather than, you know, a safety net.

I think it's all very calm because John Ternus is... He is the product guy, if you know what I mean.

But he's also very kind of hands-on.

I mean, I met him down in Cork a couple of years ago when he was visiting Holy Hill.

So...

It's, you know, he's very much in the same mold as Tim Cook.

He's very steady.

He's very, like, even just talking to him, he's kind of, he's a very calm person.

So I think in terms of the transition between leaders, it's, you know, it's going to be very easy for some.

I don't think anybody is panicking about this.

I think, you know, as I said, we were in a very different situation the last time Apple changed leadership.

That was 15 years ago.
