Johny Srouji, the man behind development of Apple's processors in the latest iPhones, Macs, and Watches, is pondering leaving the company, Bloomberg reports. A departing executive per se is barely an issue for a multi-trillion behemoth like Apple, but this one may have implications for the whole roadmap driving the company.
One of the sources of Apple's success in the last three decades has been its custom silicon, tailored just for its devices. Over the years, development of these system-on-chips (SoCs) was led by three people, and since 2014 it has been led by Johny Srouji. Thus, Srouji happens to be responsible for development of the company's whole SoCs initiative — starting from the humble Apple Watch and all the way to massive Mac Studio.
