Apple CEO John Ternus argues iPhones will still matter in an AI future

In his first cover interview, Ternus, who became Apple CEO on September 1, tells TIME people will still want iPhones even if other companies build superintelligent AI. TIME describes the recently unveiled iPhone Duo as part of Apple’s design-first approach. It also reports that the new Siri uses an Apple AI model that leverages Google’s Gemini technology, while Apple executives emphasize personalized, privacy-focused AI.
