The biggest story of Apple's April: Tim Cook is being replaced because of AI. Reporting out of the Apr-25 issue laid out the board's read that the AI transition needs operator-CEO chemistry Cook can't supply alone — and Google's confirmation that Gemini will power the next Siri reinforced it: Apple is conceding the model layer to keep the assistant relationship.

Apple Intelligence rollouts continue, but the platform bet is now squarely about orchestration on-device with frontier intelligence served from Private Cloud Compute and a custom Gemini tier. AI Weekly tracks every Apple AI release, Siri update, and supply-chain decision.
