Bloomberg reports on concerning personnel changes at Apple that could lead to a significant “brain drain.” According to the agency, Johny Srouji, who heads the chip division, is considering leaving the company. This news comes amid the departure of a number of high-ranking employees, including leaders in artificial intelligence and design. There is growing concern within Apple that the company may fall behind in key technological areas, especially in AI, where competitors are actively developing. Additional pressure is created by the approaching retirement age of some company veterans, including CEO Tim Cook, although his successor appears to have already been identified. Employees also notice signs of stress in Cook. Despite Apple’s achievements in its own chips, the company faces challenges in developing breakthrough products in the fields of augmented reality and generative AI. Recent employee transitions between Apple and Meta demonstrate a fierce battle for top talent in the tech industry.
