John Ternus set to re-establish importance of Apple’s design team when he takes over as CEO: report

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman today posted the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, recapping the last ten years of Apple’s corporate structure in which the influence of the design team waned at the executive levels in the Cook era, fuelled by Jony Ive’s exit and talent departures as finance and operations had an increasingly larger say over product direction.

However, Gurman believes that incoming CEO John Ternus may be about to reset that relationship, and reaffirm the importance of the design group for the company’s future.
