Apple 宣布管理層改組，iOS 軟體資深副總將離職，改由 Mac 軟體工程資深副總接手
iOS 軟體資深副總福斯特爾被喻為是 iOS 之父，這幾年 iOS 裝置的成功他可說是功不可沒。他隨者 Apple 創辦人賈伯斯（Steve Jobs）從 Next 電腦進入了 Apple，並且負責 Mac OS X 與其 Aqua 介面工程。稍後，他被任命負責開發 iPhone OS。近年來隨者 iOS 的成功，他也成為了 Apple 發表會的常客之一。
零售部門資深副總布洛威特曾經擔任英國著名電子零售商的執行長，他在去年接替離職的詹森（Ron Johnson）成為 Apple 零售部門的負責人。他在 Apple 任職未滿一年。
Apple 臺灣網站尚未更新此人事消息，不過美國網站已經更新了這項資訊。目前 Apple 官方網站已經無法在看到這兩人的介紹，而費德里吉的職稱從原本的Mac 軟體工程資深副總更改為軟體工程副總，或許這表示 Apple 將要準備投入更多的資源來整合 OS X 與 iOS。
