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.

At a company like Apple, the department heads don't really make those types of decisions. Their job is to make sure the whims of the C-suite are fulfilled. Usually good things happen when you have an actual subject matter expert running the show instead of a random MBA.

You know nothing about Ternus then, the guy responsible for the Neo, and the redesign of the mbp.
