This sounds like an abrupt and possibly unexpected departure of Angela Ahrendts (whether voluntary or forced), since Apple is assigning one additional division to Deirdre O’Brien. It’s not that she (Deirdre O’Brien) would be incapable of leading both people and retail, but Apple looks like a company that needs more focused attention on products, services and retail. Could it be that Apple is searching for someone to head retail and that this is just an interim appointment?
