JOHN TERNUS IS TAKING A MORE ‘HANDS-ON' ROLE IN APPLE'S DESIGN TEAMS AS CEO

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Apple CEO John Ternus has reportedly become deeply involved with the company's industrial design and human interface teams, working in the design studio several times a week and sometimes visiting multiple times per day. Rather than appointing a new chief design officer, Apple has Molly Anderson leading industrial design and Steve Lemay leading human interface design, with Ternus acting as the overarching decision-maker. Apple is also rebuilding teams depleted by departures to companies including Meta and OpenAI through internal promotions and external hires.
