His departure additionally seems to be a blow to some within the firm, since Tan “made important choices about Apple’s most vital merchandise.”
The article additionally says that amid this shake-up to the corporate’s “most crucial product traces,” new product design executives have been promoted together with a reshuffling of duties with a purpose to deal with the transition: Richard Dinh, who was head of iPhone product design, will now report on to the senior vp of {hardware} engineering, John Ternus.

Will probably be attention-grabbing to see how these and different modifications to the product design and engineering groups will play out within the coming months.
