The days of Jony Ive roaming the halls of Apple Park are long gone, but so is much of the design team that worked under him a swell. Now, another senior member of Apple's industrial design team has moved on to pastures new. Peter Russell-Clarke spent almost 20 years with Apple but reportedly left the company back in October shortly after the unveiling of the revamped iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro handsets.
Ive of course left Apple back in 2019 but there has been a steady loss of design know-how ever since, with multiple long-term Apple employees choosing to take the opportunity to find a home elsewhere. Evans Hankey, Apple's replacement for Ive, left in 2023 with no replacement found — instead, Apple's industrial designers now report to Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams.
