They’re putting an engineer in charge? So maybe their software will start to suck less.

    Hardware* engineer. Background in robot arms. Molded as an apple exec overseeing airpods, mac, ipad, and watches. I wouldn't assume that a _chosen successor_ would take a radical new direction.

  • He's a hardware guy at Apple. The company that once removed everything from their physical interface but one button. The company that created a proprietary screw shape and licensed the companion driver to prevent users or small time repair shops from fixing their phones. The company that removed the independent headphone jack and replaced it with a lightning to aux adapter (that you had to buy separately) that hogged the only charging port instead. The company that put a glass plate on the back of the phone so that you had two surfaces to shatter and leave sharp edges to cut your hand on. Yeah... I don't expect great things from him.
