Overview

• Bloomberg reports that Apple is searching for a replacement for John Giannandrea, who leads its AI efforts, and the company has not commented.
• Giannandrea has recently had key responsibilities removed, with his standing described in earlier reporting as uncertain.
• The reported search follows staff departures from his organization and widely reported struggles with Siri and Apple Intelligence.
• Apple leaders have evaluated external prospects to succeed him, including a senior AI executive at Meta, according to prior Bloomberg reporting.
• The potential change comes as Apple reworks its leadership structure, with Health and Fitness moving under Eddy Cue’s Services group and Apple Watch oversight shifting in preparation for Jeff Williams’s retirement.
