New Apple CEO John Ternus said design stays at the center of the company, with respect for users and building useful products as "job one." In a Time interview, he noted close collaboration between designers and engineers and said the iPhone Duo, in development for over 15 years, combines usefulness with whimsy.

• Ternus has been at Apple for 25 years, starting on the product design team
• The iPhone Duo was in development for over 15 years and ships October 23
• New iPhone Duo orders won't ship until the end of January 2027
