Interestingly, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened.
Dye’s departure marks the latest leadership change at the company, and one of many top designers to leave the company in recent years. Previously, Williams formally departed in November, and the company announced earlier this week that John Giannandrea, its AI leader, would also be leaving.
According to the report, Johnny Srouji, the company’s chief of chips, is also assessing his future there.
Until this news was written, there was still no official response from both companies.
To overcome the vacancy left by Alan, the company appointed Designer Steve Lemay. As CEO, Tim Cook stated, “Steve Lemay has played a key role in the design of every major Apple interface since 1999. He has always set an extraordinarily high bar for excellence and embodies Apple’s culture of collaboration and creativity.”
Following the recent retirement of previous COO Jeff Williams, the company’s design staff will now report directly to Tim Cook.
