Overview
- Giannandrea’s exit is expected this week, with multiple outlets citing Bloomberg’s report that it aligns with Apple’s April 15 stock‑vesting date.
- Since December, he has served in an advisory role described as “resting and vesting” after Apple announced he would retire in 2026.
- Apple cut back his remit in March 2025 after a bumpy Apple Intelligence debut and delays to a planned Siri overhaul.
- Siri leadership moved to Mike Rockwell, who reports to software chief Craig Federighi, and other AI work shifted to Federighi, Eddy Cue, and Sabih Khan.
- Gurman reports he will join boards and advise startups instead of a rival, a move he says reflects Apple’s tight inner‑circle decision culture.
