Several high-ranking Apple executives are retiring or leaving the company | Infinium-tech
There is a lot of turnover in Apple’s senior ranks. Last month, a key iPhone Air designer left. Now Bloomberg is reporting that Alan Dye is leaving — Dye was vice president of human interface design since 2015.
Dye is moving to Meta to lead a new design studio. According to CEO Tim Cook, Apple will replace him with Steve Lemme, who has had a hand in every Apple interface design since 1999.
Now Apple revealed that Senior Vice President and General Counsel Katherine Adams and Vice President of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives Lisa Jackson will be leaving the company.
Jackson will retire at the end of January. Her government affairs organization will be led temporarily by Adams until she herself retires at the end of 2026. Environmental and social initiatives will be led by Sabih Khan (Apple’s Chief Operating Officer).

Jennifer Newsted will take over as Apple’s senior vice president and general counsel on March 1. Interestingly, Newsted was the chief legal officer of Meta until recently.
A few days ago, the announcement came that John Giannandrea is retiring – he was Apple’s SVP for machine learning and AI strategy and is set to act as an advisor until he officially retires in the spring of 2026. Amar Subramaniam has stepped into the role of Vice President, AI.
If you believe the rumors, the biggest departure is yet to come – Tim Cook’s tenure as CEO may soon be coming to an end. John Ternes, Apple’s senior vice president of hardware engineering, is reportedly being considered as his replacement.
