Henri is a great guy: I never worked directly with him but rather with some of his direct reports many years ago around the time the 1st iPhone was launched. We were in various meetings to flush out various details and API that will be used and I could tell that he had great engineering skills, and was well respected by his team. The iPhone team was working full speed under his direction and we got many things moving forward because Henri was supporting us and pushing the right buttons so both team could get their job done. In a way I am not much surprise to see him retiring: I am sure the last 8/9 years since the beginning of the iPhone projects have had a lot of up and down, including stress. He did achieve a lot during his time at Apple and wish him the best retirement possible -which I am sure will not be an issue.
