Apple announced that its design team will report directly to Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook following the planned retirement of Jeff Williams later this year. Williams, who has been overseeing the design team since the departure of Evans Hankey in 2023, currently serves as Apple's Chief Operating Officer. This leadership change marks a notable shift in the company's organizational structure, placing Cook in a more hands-on role as Apple prepares for a significant visual overhaul of its products. The move comes amid broader executive transitions at the Cupertino-based technology giant.
