Tang Tan, who has been the chief product designer for Apple iPhone and Watch lines, is planning to leave the company in February of next year, according to Bloomberg.
It appears to be one of a number of changes that’s taking place on the product design and engineering teams. But Tan’s departure alone is important given the amount of revenue the two product lines he was overseeing brought in, which was more than half of Apple’s total revenue last year. His departure also appears to be a blow to some in the company, since Tan “made critical decisions about Apple’s most important products.”
