🌍 India / Asia Angle

Apple's deep manufacturing ties to China, India (Foxconn/Tata), and broader Asia mean Ternus's product-focused leadership style will be closely watched by Asian suppliers and investors in the region's tech supply chain.

▸Asian Apple suppliers (Foxconn, Tata Electronics, TSMC) — sentiment-sensitive to any strategy shift under new CEO
▸Global AI/tech sector ETFs — potential re-rating as markets assess Ternus's AI strategy versus Cook's era
