Tech Watch: Apple's Johny Srouji could continue the publisher's executive exodus, according to report

{"title": "Report Indicates Apple's Hardware Leader Johny Srouji Weighing Departure Amid Wave of Executive Exits", "body": ["A Bloomberg report suggests that Johny Srouji, Apple's senior vice president for hardware technologies, might become the next high-level executive to depart the firm. Sources indicate that Srouji informed CEO Tim Cook of his strong interest in exiting the company soon."], ["The article did not specify whether Srouji has secured a position elsewhere, but insiders told Bloomberg that he intends to move to a different organization upon leaving. Srouji came on board in 2008 to create Apple's initial custom system-on-a-chip and later oversaw the shift to proprietary Apple silicon processors."], ["Should Srouji depart, he would join a recent series of exits by veteran leaders at Apple. Earlier this month, the company disclosed that John Giannandrea, senior vice president overseeing machine learning and AI strategy, plans to retire from his position in the spring of 2026."], ["Shortly after that announcement, Bloomberg noted that Alan Dye, Apple's interface design chief, is set to join Meta. In addition, the company stated that general counsel Kate Adams, who has held the role since 2017, and vice president Lisa Jackson, responsible for environment, policy, and social initiatives, both intend to leave in early 2026."], ["These changes in leadership follow a prior Bloomberg update from Mark Gurman, who indicated that CEO Tim Cook is not gearing up to step away from his role next year. This assessment challenges a Financial Times piece asserting that Apple is hastening preparations for Cook's successor, with a potential transition occurring sometime in the coming year."]}
