Apple’s Head Of Chips Could Leave The Company Soon, Report Says—Adding To AI Woes
- On December 6, 2025, Bloomberg reported that Johny Srouji, senior vice president of hardware technologies, recently told Tim Cook he is seriously considering leaving Apple Inc. and joining another company.
- Amid a broader C-suite shake-up at Apple, a massive reorganization tied to preparing for Tim Cook’s eventual retirement has reshaped leadership, prompting transitions of Alan Dye, John Giannandrea, Kate Adams and Lisa Jackson.
- Apple has been working to retain Johny Srouji by offering substantial pay packages and a possible promotion to Chief Technology Officer, Bloomberg reported he prefers a career shift and not working under a different CEO.
- Apple would likely respond by promoting Zongjian Chen or Sribalan Santhanam, but Srouji's departure could deepen talent flight and hinder Apple’s artificial intelligence efforts, risking poaching by Meta Platforms Inc. and OpenAI.
- Apple’s leadership reshuffle has redistributed AI responsibilities to Craig Federighi, software head, while John Ternus, hardware engineering chief and CEO contender, gains prominence as Tim Cook rebuilds ranks amid reliance on a $1 billion Google deal for Siri.
