Como anticipo a WWDC, hay varios movimientos de ejecutivos de Apple y así es como quedará la jerarquía de Apple en el futuro.
En un memo filtrado por 9to5Mac y tomando como fuente a una entrevista de Telegraph en Reino Unido con el comediante y escritor Stephen Fry, se supo que hubo varias movidas de ejecutivos internamente en Apple y esto incluye a Jonathan Ive o conocido en la comunidad Apple como Jony Ive y es que ahora estrenará la nueva posición como Jefe Oficial de Diseño o Chief Design Officer y entre sus tareas de las cuales son conocidas como el aspecto de diseño de productos claves de la empresa, incluyen también unidades de software e industriales.
Otra movida es el líder del equipo de iPhone, Richard Howarth es el nuevo Vice-Presidente de Diseños Industriales y su tarea será la de enfocarse del aspecto hardware de productos de Apple.
Adicional, Alan Dye será el nuevo Vice-Presidente de Diseño de Interface, regulando todo aspecto de la visualización del usuario en MAC OS, iOS y Watch OS.

Team,
I have exciting news to share with you today. I am happy to announce that Jony Ive is being promoted to the newly created position of Chief Design Officer at Apple.
Jony is one of the most talented and accomplished designers of his generation, with an astonishing 5000 design and utility patents to his name. His new role is a reflection of the scope of work he has been doing at Apple for some time. Jony’s design responsibilities have expanded from hardware and, more recently, software UI to the look and feel of Apple retail stores, our new campus in Cupertino, product packaging and many other parts of our company.
Design is one of the most important ways we communicate with our customers, and our reputation for world-class design differentiates Apple from every other company in the world. As Chief Design Officer, Jony will remain responsible for all of our design, focusing entirely on current design projects, new ideas and future initiatives. On July 1, he will hand off his day-to-day managerial responsibilities of ID and UI to Richard Howarth, our new vice president of Industrial Design, and Alan Dye, our new vice president of User Interface Design.
Richard, Alan and Jony have been working together as colleagues and friends for many years. Richard has been a member of the Design team for two decades, and in that time he has been a key contributor to the design of each generation of iPhone, Mac, and practically every other Apple product. Alan started at Apple nine years ago on the Marcom team, and helped Jony build the UI team which collaborated with ID, Software Engineering and countless other groups on groundbreaking projects like iOS 7, iOS 8 and Apple Watch.
Please join me in congratulating these three exceptionally talented designers on their new roles at Apple.
Tim

Todos los puestos indicados tomarán vigencia para el primero de Julio de este año y veremos a ver que deparará para el futuro de la empresa y ver como Jony Ive ganando más poder en Apple puede significar más productos nuevos o evolución notable en productos actuales en el futuro.
