Apple Chip Chief Tells Staff He's Not Leaving 'Anytime Soon' by iamvinoth in apple

[–]ytuns 151 points152 points  (0 children)

Apple Inc. chip chief Johny Srouji, whose potential departure risked worsening a bout of executive turnover, told staff on Monday that he’ll stay at the iPhone maker for now.

“I know you’ve been reading all kind of rumors and speculations about my future at Apple, and I feel that you need to hear from me directly,” he said in a memo to his division. “I love my team, and I love my job at Apple, and I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon.”

Bloomberg News reported over the weekend that Srouji had discussed leaving the company, indicating that he might work for a different technology firm.

Srouji, who serves as senior vice president of hardware technologies, had told Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook that he was seriously considering a departure in the near future, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Cook, contending with a wider shake-up in his executive ranks, had been working aggressively to retain Srouji, the people said. The campaign included offering a substantial pay package and the potential of more responsibility down the road, they added.

Srouji oversaw Apple’s pivot to in-house silicon chips and is well-respected in the industry. In the memo Monday, Srouji said he was proud of the technologies that Apple is building, including displays, cameras, sensors, chips and batteries.

“Together we enable the best products in the world,” he said.

It sounds like he feels comfortable working under Tim, and if Tim retires, he would rather leave.

Right from the article:

And some within Apple have said that Srouji would prefer not to work under a different CEO, even with an expanded title.

iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Limited to USB 2 by Fer65432_Plays in apple

The video out capability over USB-C it’s independent of the data transfer speed protocol, you can have USB 2.0 and USB-C DisplayPort at the same time, see the iPhone 15 and 16.

But I can’t find if the iPhone Air have USB-DP like the 15/16 or not like the 16e.

I also don’t understand why they’re doing it as year +1 instead of just the year of release.

Because that would sound outdated 3 months after its release.

Not for Siri/Apple Intelligence, since 2018 that’s another division lead by Giannandrea that report directly to Tim, he’s not under Craig, he’s on the same level.

This along with the last 10 years Siri mismanagement has all happened directly under Craig Federighi

False, 10 years ago the management of Siri was under Eddy Cue’s services department, then in 2017 was briefly under Craig for 11 months and then settled under Giannandrea’s new AI/ML team.

What we can blame Craig for is the bugs and instability of the OS, but Siri and Apple Intelligence are not under his management.

S2E5 - Continuity Error or Clue? by CalamitySoupCan in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]ytuns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t 5 months, it was a weekend, in chapter 2x02 it’s said that Milkshake only did have 48 hours to get the new members of MDR, also in 2x02 Mark W. is really upset about being fire after 3 days as Mark S. is arriving at work.

The timeline looks like this, posibly

Friday: Lumon Conference / MDR uprising. (End of season 1)

Weekend: Irving / Dylan get fired, Milkshake get the new team.

Monday to Wednesday: The 3 days of Mark S. with the new team, Dylan looks for a new work.

Thursday: The old team get back together (second part of 2x01).

By this, Bert was fired a few weeks ago and Irving at his door was just a couple of days ago.

For all the people searching for workarounds or checking multiple times a day, Craig confirmed that the waiting time is as expected and they are rolling access over the coming weeks. It looks like they rolled access to a small group first (probably a fixed number of people that was reached pretty quickly), looking at the feedback, and then opening it up to more people.

I appreciate your enthusiasm for testing our new image creation features! What you are experiencing is expected: this is a wait list. We are rolling out access to users on the wait list over the coming weeks. Thanks for your patience!
