With Jeff Williams' retirement, Apple's design team faces another leadership change, reporting directly to CEO Tim Cook.
Cook, known for supply chain expertise, will now oversee a team with a history of leadership turnover since Jony Ive's departure.
Despite this instability, Apple's recent product designs have been highly successful, showcasing the team's continued talent.
The future direction of Apple's design remains uncertain, though the existing product pipeline likely ensures a smooth transition.
