Rumors plausible but insider 'rumblings' = classic journo flex. Age motive feels tidy 🙄

Name mangled to 'Turnus' but the succession is spot on. Close enough 💀✅
Turnus is low-key operations/engineering guy like Cook — Verified (95/100)

Not grand visionary; manages China/Trump relations, iPhones — Opinion (70/100)
Fair take on ops CEO vs Jobs 2.0. Trump mention feels like 2024 nostalgia tho 🗳️🙄
