Apple Restructures App Store Leadership Amid EU Regulatory Demands

Longtime VP Matt Fischer exits as company splits team to manage its own store and third-party alternatives.

Apple will divide its App Store team into two separate groups: one for Apple's store, another for third-party app stores.
Matt Fischer, who has led the App Store since 2010, will leave the company in October.
Carson Oliver and Ann Thai will lead the new divisions, reporting to Phil Schiller.
The reorganization is in response to the EU's Digital Markets Act, which mandates support for third-party app stores.
Apple faces ongoing scrutiny and potential fines for its app distribution practices.
