Trader consensus on Polymarket assigns a 27% implied probability to Tim Cook departing as Apple CEO before year-end 2026—the highest among tracked tech leaders—fueled by persistent succession rumors amplified around Apple's 50th anniversary last month, despite Cook's March 17 GMA interview firmly denying retirement plans and affirming his commitment. Persistent speculation stems from Apple's grooming of successors like hardware SVP John Ternus amid intensifying AI competition from rivals like OpenAI and Google, where Sundar Pichai sits at 13%. Sam Altman's 19% odds reflect residual board volatility risks, while Brian Armstrong's 16% ties to Coinbase's crypto expansion ambitions. Watch Apple's Q2 earnings in May and WWDC for potential leadership signals, as timelines often slip in Big Tech transitions.
