Apple executive Johny Srouji Considering Departure
According to a new report from Bloomberg, Apple’s hardware technologies SVP Johny Srouji is ‘seriously’ considering leaving the company. He’s most known for leading the charge on Apple Silicon. If he does end up leaving, he’ll reportedly take his talents to another company.
The Rise of Apple Silicon Under Srouji
In recent years, Apple Silicon has taken massive strides. We’ve had the Mac transition to Apple Silicon, as well as in-house transitions for both the cellular modem and Wi-Fi/bluetooth chip, with both the C1 and N1 chips debuting in various Apple products this year. These developments are largely thanks to Johny Srouji’s leadership.
Srouji’s vision and execution have been pivotal in Apple’s strategy to control more of its hardware destiny. Prior to Apple Silicon, Apple relied heavily on third-party chip manufacturers like Intel. The move to in-house chips has resulted in significant performance and efficiency gains, giving Apple a competitive edge.
