Apple plans engineering-focused overhaul under Ternus, Bloomberg News reports
Bloomberg says Ternus is pushing Apple to ship products more often, cut management layers and trim costs as the company faces slower growth.
- Apple CEO John Ternus announced plans to overhaul the company, aiming to accelerate product development, broaden its range of devices, and create a leaner organization with greater engineering focus, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday.
- Ternus has long advocated for a leaner organization, arguing that the "company should be accomplishing more with fewer employees" while seeking to reduce organizational bloat and eliminate middle-management positions.
- Managers report a "hectic" environment as teams are pushed to deliver products faster, with Apple dismissing engineering program managers in the past two weeks to reduce layers between engineers and executives.
- One proposal involves relying less on traditional spring and fall release cycles to introduce devices throughout the year, as Ternus said the company must become "more experimental" to remain competitive.
- Revenue growth in services is a priority alongside Eddy Cue and CFO Kevan Parekh, though analyst Mark Gurman cautioned that these changes will be challenging and could take years to achieve.
