Mike Rockwell, Apple’s head of the Technology Development Group who spearheaded the developer of the Apple Vision Pro, is taking over the Siri team following the “personalized Siri” fiasco/missing Apple Intelligence fiasco, reports Mark Gurman at Bloomberg (a subscription is required to read the article).
He replaces John Giannandrea and will report to Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering. Gurman says Apple CEO has “lost confidence” ion Giannandrea’s ability to “execute on product development.” Giannandrea will now oversee artificial intelligence research and development in general, Gurman adds.
With Rockwell leaving the Technology Development Group, the Vision Pro will now be under the stewardship of Paul Meade, who has run hardware engineering for the Vision Pro under Rockwell. Meade has led hardware development for the spatial computer. He’s one of software chief Craig Federighi’s lieutenants, overseeing the underlying architecture of the company’s operating systems.
