Apple newsroom press release:

CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Apple today announced Jeff Williams will transition his role as chief operating officer later this month to Sabih Khan, Apple’s senior vice president of Operations as part of a long-planned succession. Williams will continue reporting to Apple CEO Tim Cook and overseeing Apple’s world class design team and Apple Watch alongside the company’s Heath initiatives. Apple’s design team will then transition to reporting directly to Cook after Williams retires late in the year.

I have always viewed Jeff Williams as an odd guy, but he did a hell of a job with Watch and Health initiatives. Guess all of the speculation about him potentially taking the role of CEO after Tim Cook retires can be put to rest. Now it is all eyes on Jeff Ternus. 🍻
