Apple Merges Hardware Divisions Under Srouji's Five-Pillar Plan
Johny Srouji outlines the structure of Apple's newly combined hardware engineering and hardware technologies group.
Apple just reshuffled its hardware org chart in a big way. Johny Srouji, now leading the company's newly merged hardware engineering and hardware technologies division, laid out the new structure in an internal email to staff on Monday.
The combined unit will be organized around five key focus areas, though Apple hasn't publicly detailed what those five pillars are. The merger consolidates two previously separate divisions under one roof — and one boss.
Srouji, long known as Apple's chip guru, now has an even broader mandate spanning the full hardware stack. The reorganization signals Apple wants tighter integration between silicon development and the physical products that silicon powers.
It's a significant structural move for a company that ships hundreds of millions of devices annually. How it plays out in actual product development remains to be seen.
