With Tim Cook approaching retirement and succession planning intensifying at Apple, multiple candidates are being considered for the CEO position. Recent executive departures, including Jeff Williams stepping down as COO, have reshuffled the succession landscape. This market covers the most likely internal candidates based on current reporting and analysis.
Resolution Criteria: Market resolves to the person officially announced as Apple's CEO (or CEO-designate) by April 13, 2026. Announcement must be made via Apple's official channels. If no announcement is made by the close date, market resolves to "Other."

@joelkronschachner Title says by December 2027 and close date is a month before, but description says by April 13, 2026. Which is it?
And why even impose a deadline on it? I'd suggest extending until an announcement is made instead of "Other" which feels a bit weird to me.
