According to Bloomberg's tech reporter Mark Gurman, Tang Tan, Apple's head of product design for iPhone and Apple Watch, will leave his post in February. This news is undoubtedly a huge blow to Apple, as Tang Tan is one of Apple's most critical product line leaders, and his departure will have a profound impact on Apple's product design and innovation capabilities.
Tang Tan's departure did not come without warning. Earlier this year, Apple underwent a major restructuring in which the hardware engineering team was led by John Ternus. This change seems to indicate that Apple will place more emphasis on software and service development in the future, and innovation in hardware will no longer be the company's focus. However, Tang Tan's departure is undoubtedly a significant loss. He has been a product designer at Apple for over a decade, designing many classic products for Apple, including the iPhone and Apple Watch. His departure not only means that Apple will lose a highly talented designer, but also that the company's product line will face a series of adjustments and changes.
It is worth mentioning that within this week, two Apple executives have been rumored to have resigned. In addition to Tang Tan, Bloomberg Technology reporter Mark Gurman reportedly posted that Steve Hötling, Apple's senior executive in charge of touchscreen technology, health sensors and Face ID interfaces, will also leave. The news has raised concerns about Apple's future. Apple's executive departures seem to have become the norm. In recent years, Apple has lost a number of executives, including chief designer Jony Ive, hardware chief Bob Mansfield, and chief financial officer Luca Maestri, among others. The departure of these people seems to be a sign of problems in Apple's internal management, which in turn have a direct impact on the company's performance and growth.
However, despite concerns about the frequent departures of executives, Apple's strength should not be underestimated. The company's innovation capabilities in hardware, software, and services are among the best in the industry. In addition, Apple is also in a very solid financial position, with significant cash reserves and a portfolio. So, despite the departure of executives, Apple's future is still full of opportunities and challenges.
In this context, we expect Apple to find a new replacement as soon as possible to guarantee the quality and innovation of its products. At the same time, we also expect Apple to solve existing problems and revitalize through internal adjustments and changes. In any case, we will continue to monitor Apple's next development and bring you the latest reports.
