Clean water on the hands of rumormongers; Apple’s chip architect isn’t going anywhere • DigiCala Mag

Apple’s senior vice president of hardware technologies, Johnny Saroji, sent an internal memo to the company’s employees, putting an end to all the speculation and rumors that had formed in recent days about his departure from Cupertino. Bloomberg had previously claimed in a report that Sarooji is seriously considering leaving Apple and this issue even with Tim Cookthe CEO of the company, shared. However, the chief architect of Apple’s proprietary chips was adamant that he has no plans to leave the tech giant “any time soon” and remains committed to his team and mission.

In a memo obtained by Bloomberg’s Mark Gorman, Saroji addressed employees directly, writing, “I know you’ve read a lot of rumors and speculation about my future at Apple, and I feel you need to hear it from me directly. “I’m proud of the amazing technologies we’re all building in displays, cameras, sensors, silicon and batteries.” He further emphasized: “I love my team and my job at Apple and I have no plans to leave the company in the near future.”

This clarification comes as Apple is going through one of its most turbulent management periods. Last week it was confirmed that several senior executives are leaving the company, including John Giannandrea (Director of AI), Lisa Jackson (Director of Environment) and Kathryn Adams (General Counsel). Also, veteran COO Jeff Williams has announced his retirement, and Alan Dye, director of software design, is set to join Meta. In such a situation, the news of Sarooji staying will be very comforting for investors and Apple fans.

Johnny Saroji, who joined Apple in 2008, is the mastermind behind the company’s proprietary chip strategy. He led the development of the first dedicated chip, the A4 in the iPhone 4, and then revolutionized the computer industry with the M-series chip architecture for the Mac. The latest achievement of his team is the A19 Pro chip in the iPhone 17 Pro models, which is considered the fastest processor in the mobile world. Saruji’s stay ensures that Apple’s hardware roadmap will continue with the same strength and stability, at least in the short term.
