3. John Ternus to take over Apple as new CEO on Sep. 1 amid AI, cost, leadership challenges

  • Ternus is also expected to reshape reporting lines, giving more responsibility to key lieutenants.

  • Catching up in AI will be among Ternus’ key challenges.

  • Separately, Apple tested a Pencil for its folding iPhone that magnetically attaches, but the accessory is unlikely to launch.

  • The U.S. GNIS name change prompted Google Maps’ update.

  • Most fraud programs are built around decision points, but fraud moves across accounts, channels, and organizations long before it reaches your systems.

  • In 2025, those blind spots contributed to $38 billion in identity fraud and scam losses. Staying ahead means catching risk earlier with more connected data.

  • In this report, Javelin breaks down the four fraud trends you should keep an eye on—and how to spot risk before it hits your bottom line.
