AAPL
New boss, new org chart
Apple is shuffling its hardware team around while the CEO handoff story keeps moving. The big thread: Johny Srouji is getting a wider lane, which means the company’s chip-and-hardware brain trust is being lined up a little differently for the next era.
Why this matters
This isn’t a flashy product launch or a blockbuster deal. But at a company like Apple, org charts are not just org charts — they’re a sneak preview of where the power sits. If hardware oversight is getting centralized, that can shape how fast Apple pushes chips, devices, and the stuff that quietly keeps the whole ecosystem glued together.
The bigger Apple chessboard
With the CEO transition advancing, Apple is basically doing a pre-flight checklist on leadership and reporting lines. You may not see it on a keynote stage, but these moves can hint at who gets to steer the roadmap when the next big iPhone-cycle, Mac-cycle, or AI push comes along.
Big picture: when Apple changes the plumbing, investors pay attention — because that’s usually where the next few years of strategy start taking shape.
