Apple's Chip Chief Considers Sudden Departure Amid Apple's Turmoil.
Apple is facing a perfect storm of departures in its C-suite, and now it seems that Johny Srouji, the senior vice president of hardware technologies, may be one of them. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who has a track record for being reliable, Srouji is "seriously considering" leaving Apple for another company.
This news comes as no surprise, given that Srouji was first reported to be "evaluating his future at the tech giant" back in October. The fact that he has now revealed his intention to leave suggests that he's not getting any younger or more content with his role.
The departures have been mounting lately, starting with COO Jeff Williams' announcement of retirement in July. This led to a shake-up in the company's leadership, but things only got worse for Apple last week when AI chief John Giannandrea stepped down and policy lead Lisa Jackson announced her plan to retire.
As if all this wasn't enough, general counsel Kate Adams also announced that she would be retiring, while UI design lead Alan Dye departed for Meta in the last few days. With these high-profile departures, it's now unclear what Apple's future holds.
The question on everyone's mind is whether Tim Cook can still stabilize the company after a series of shake-ups. The latest rumors about Cook himself may be premature according to Gurman, but they add to the uncertainty surrounding what has traditionally been one of Silicon Valley's more stable companies.
As the tech industry continues to shift rapidly with AI and automation taking center stage, Apple is struggling to adapt. Srouji's departure would be a significant loss for the company, especially considering his role in shaping its hardware technologies.
