Feels like John is going to be a much more out front leader. Should be interesting to see.
I don't know about that. Cook certainly had his public appearances for launches. I wonder, though, how it feels to him to go from being tightly focused on juggling hardware execution plans to the guy out front leading a marketing event. It required a bit of head adjustment when I went from a CTO to CEO role in a small company. I can't imagine the what that change is like at a company like Apple. It must be a head-spinning experience for him.

Yeah, Tim Cook always made appearances at launches all over the world.

I'll say this much for Ternus: when he pulled the Duo out during that Emmy interview is was pure frikkin Tony Stark.
