Dang, @gruber, tell us what you really think! 😳

“So it’s not just that Alan Dye jumped ship from Apple for the chief designer officer role at another company.1 It’s not just that he left for a rival company. It’s that he left Apple for Meta, of all companies. Given what Cook has said about Meta publicly, one can only imagine what he thinks about them privately.”

“Lemay’s appointment does symbolize something that Apple hasn’t really had in a long time: a genuine reset, not all that different from the one that the company was going through when he first joined.

And to be clear, I don’t have any illusions that Lemay could be the next Ive, but that is precisely the point. I hope he is not. It’s time to move on, and as someone said, figure out what’s next.”
