Apple senior vice president of hardware engineering JohnโฏTernus sat down with Bloombergโs chief Apple correspondent MarkโฏGurman for the first public interview on Gurmanโs upcoming โPowerโฏOnโ podcast, a conversation that comes as the company searches for its next growth driver after the iPhoneโฏ15 launch.
The interview follows Appleโs September iPhone event, where every major detail was already known thanks to Gurmanโs extensive network of sources. Appleโs flagship phone line has powered the company for more than a decade, but sales are flattening and rivals are closing the gap. Analysts say Apple needs a breakthrough product to keep its momentum, whether that is a mixedโreality headset, a healthโfocused AppleโฏWatch, or a new Mac with its own silicon. Ternus, who oversees all of Appleโs hardware, is now under pressure to deliver that next big thing.
Gurmanโs reputation for accurate leaks has made him the goโto journalist for Apple insiders. In the podcast, he will press Ternus on the status of Appleโs longโrumored AR/VR headset, the progress of the health sensors being added to the Watch, and the timeline for a nextโgeneration Mac. Industry experts expect the discussion to reveal whether Appleโs supply chain can support a new device at scale, and whether the company is ready to launch a product that could redefine its ecosystem. The interview is also notable because Ternus rarely speaks to the press, making any hints he gives especially valuable.
Appleโs next major public event is its Worldwide Developers Conference in early June, where the company typically unveils new software and occasionally hardware. If Ternus signals that a headset or a new Mac is on the way, investors will likely adjust their expectations for the coming fiscal year. The โPowerโฏOnโ interview could set the tone for what Apple hopes to showcase at WWDC, and whether the company can sustain its market dominance beyond the iPhone.
