Apple is managing a planned leadership transition as longtime executives Wei Chen and John Zhong step back from their roles to become advisors. Both worked on display technology and Chen had taken over Touch ID in 2023. Their decades of experience are being passed to internal candidates like Victor Yin.
Separately, Rajesh Ambati, Louie Sanguinetti and Derek Shaeffer were promoted to vice presidents in internet connectivity. These changes follow John Ternus's appointment as CEO and are part of Apple's managed succession planning rather than mass departures.
