You’d be surprised to hear how much the political power of the design team within Apple has eroded over the last decade.
Here’s a little game of insider Apple baseball:
1) why do you think the chief of design isn’t on this page? https://www.apple.com/leadership/ https://www.apple.com/leadership/
2) from the SVPs on that same page, who do you think the chief of design reports to?
