Srouji is going to lead Hardware Engineering, reporting to Ternus. Current Apple CEO Tim Cook said that Srouji has been pivotal in Apple's transition to Apple silicon.

Johny is one of the most talented people I have ever had the privilege to work with. He has played a singular role in driving Apple's silicon strategy, and his influence has been felt deeply not just inside the company, but across the industry. He has always led his organization with remarkable deftness and judgment, and time and again, his team has delivered breakthrough innovations that have transformed our products. We are incredibly fortunate to have him as Apple's chief hardware officer.

Srouji is well-known as Apple's chip lead, and he has overseen the development of Apple silicon chips for the Mac. Apple's hardware engineering team is responsible for all of Apple's hardware products, and Srouji will lead everything from product design to system engineering to reliability and durability testing.

So we know the hardware is in good hands, but what about the software? 🤔

This is all great news! Apple isn't grasping at straws or desperately reaching out into the wider industry trying to fill a gap. They've still got the homegrown talent in their own pipeline to shepherd the company into a bright future. It'll be interesting to see how they deal with the supply chain crisis, but if anybody knows how to squeeze more performance out of silicon, it's Srouji.

Always good to see Johny Srouji presenting new M-series chips (especially Max and Ultra versions) at Apple's new product events.
