Apple Chip Chief Reportedly Dismisses Concerns About Exit: ‘I Love My Job’

• Srouji, who oversees the iPhone maker’s chip division, reportedly sent a memo to his division, saying that he loves his job at Apple. 
• The memo added that he was offering the clarification in light of “rumors and speculations” regarding his future at the company, Bloomberg added. 
• The clarification comes on the heels of a streak of exits at Apple including the company’s AI chief.

Apple Inc.’s Johny Srouji reportedly told his peers at the company that he does not intend on “leaving anytime soon.”

Srouji, who oversees the iPhone maker’s chip division, reportedly sent a memo to his division.

“I am proud of the amazing Technologies we all build across Displays, Cameras, Sensors, Silicon, Batteries, and a very wide set of technologies, across all of Apple Products. Together we enable the best products in the world. I love my team, and I love my job at Apple, and I don’t plan on leaving anytime soon,” he wrote in the memo, as reported by Bloomberg. The memo added that he was offering the clarification in light of “rumors and speculations” regarding his future at the company, the report added.

The clarification from the top executive and architect of the company’s in-house chip efforts come on the heels of a media report last week that Srouji informed CEO Tim Cook that he is considering leaving the company in the near future. He also reportedly informed colleagues that he intends to join another company if he departs, the report then said.

Streak Of Exits At Apple

The clarification from Srouji comes on the heels of a number of exits at the company.

Last week, Apple confirmed that its artificial intelligence (AI) chief, John Giannandrea, would retire after nearly seven years at the company, to be replaced by Amar Subramanya — an ex-Microsoft executive.

After rumors that Alan Dye, Apple’s long-serving head of user interface (UI) design — most recently behind the "Liquid Glass" rollout — was leaving the company circulated, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg confirmed the move on Threads. He also stated that Billy Sorrentino, who served as Senior Director of the Apple Design Team for a decade, has joined Meta.

Apple also released a statement on Thursday that Kate Adams, who has served as General Counsel since 2017, will step down and be replaced by Jennifer Newstead, effective March 1, 2026. Apple’s VP for Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives, Lisa Jackson, will also retire in January.
