Phil Schiller Steps Down from Leading App Store and Product Events at Apple
Apple Inc.'s Phil Schiller has stepped down from his roles overseeing the App Store and product events, marking a significant shift ahead of John Ternus' appointment as CEO. Schiller, who played key roles in introducing major products like the iPhone and iPad, will remain with the company under an Apple Fellow title but is expected to eventually retire. The transition places responsibility for the App Store on Eddy Cue's services division, which now includes oversight of Apple Arcade gaming service. Carson Oliver has been named as day-to-day leader of the App Store team. The change highlights a broader trend at Apple with several veteran executives either leaving or shifting into smaller roles in recent months. Schiller had previously managed decisions on app approvals and policies while navigating legal challenges, including disputes with Epic Games over in-app purchases.
