Phil Schiller Steps Down from Key Roles at Apple
Longtime Apple executive Phil Schiller has stepped down as head of the App Store and Apple events, according to a Bloomberg report. He will retain his title as an Apple Fellow but is expected to work on unspecified initiatives moving forward. This change occurs just before John Ternus takes over from Tim Cook as CEO starting September 1st. Schiller joined Apple in 1987 and played pivotal roles, including launching the App Store with Steve Jobs in 2008 and contributing to major product developments like the iPhone and iPad. Apple has restructured its leadership by placing the App Store division under services head Eddy Cue while Carson Oliver continues leading the store. The move reflects ongoing internal shifts as Apple transitions into a new phase of executive leadership.
