Run the CPU at 2% higher speed than the mainline models, bin the best chips. Then let tech people endlessly debate if that vast RAM makes any real-world difference.

The article outlines Ternus’s career, noting his start at Virtual Research Systems after earning a mechanical‑engineering degree from the University of Pennsylvania, his 2001 entry into Apple’s product‑design team, and his rise to Vice‑President of Hardware Engineering in 2013. It highlights his key role in launching major Apple product lines—including the iPad, AirPods, various iPhone generations, and the recent MacBook Neo—while noting his leadership over the iPhone 17 series launch. The piece also touches on Apple’s foray into the headset market with the Vision Pro in 2024, quoting Ternus’s optimism that “Vision Pro is an extraordinary product…like we reached into the future and pulled it into the present.”
