Apple Inc. is undergoing a significant restructuring of its hardware organization, consolidating its hardware engineering and hardware technologies divisions into a unified group. This new structure will be led by Johny Srouji, who has been appointed as chief hardware officer, and will be divided into five core areas: hardware engineering, silicon, advanced technologies, platform architecture, and project management. The reorganization aims to streamline operations and enhance collaboration among teams responsible for developing key products like the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Tim Cook, who has led Apple for over a decade, is expected to transition to the role of executive chairman, while John Ternus has been promoted to CEO. This leadership transition marks one of the most significant changes at Apple in years and reflects a renewed focus on hardware engineering as a central component of the company's long-term strategy. The restructuring also signifies a return to a centralized hardware model that Apple employed more than ten years ago, reversing the division of responsibilities that occurred in 2012.
