Apple is separating the new smartphones into its usual low-cost versus high-cost categories, with big differences between the two models coming down to the camera, display, and battery life.

Apple's Chipmaking Chief Johny Srouji Reportedly on Intel's List of Potential CEOs
Intel has been searching for a new CEO since Brian Krzanich resigned nearly seven months ago, and Axios now reports that the chipmaker's list of candidates includes Johny Srouji, Senior Vice President of Hardware Technologies at Apple.
Srouji joined Apple in 2008 to lead development of the A4 chip, the first Apple-designed system-on-a-chip in the iPhone 4, and now oversees custom silicon and hardware technologies including batteries, application processors, storage controllers, sensors silicon, and other chipsets across Apple's entire product line.
It's unclear if Srouji is interested in leading Intel, where he worked between 1990 and 2005 in both his native Israel and the United States, according to his LinkedIn profile. Srouji also worked at IBM between 2005 and 2008.
Apple's custom A-series chips lead the mobile industry in terms of performance, so losing Srouji would certainly be a major blow for the iPhone maker, although the company obviously has a larger team of engineers working on the silicon. Back in 2017, Srouji said his team was already working on chips for 2020.
Apple is rumored to use an Intel wireless chip in its first 5G-capable iPhone in 2020.

what a creepy corporate photo

Although you trust him to design the chips that hold your most sensitive information such as bank details etc.

If he leaves, then you know Apple's ARM in Mac plans have fallen through. If he stays, Intel may need to be worried.

If he leaves Apple, it's a sign for me that Apple lost focus.
Not at all. The chance to leave a position as "Senior Vice President" to take a job as CEO is one that a lot of people would take. Regardless of whether he stays or goes, I don't think you can read too much into the health of Apple as a whole.

If his moving to intel makes it more likely that Macs would stay on intel chips rather than ARM, I'm all for it.

Tesla should be a better choice.
Yeah, since that job is open and Tesla is just drowning in profits.[doublepost=1547574742][/doublepost]
like rats leaving a sinking ship
Yeah, that Apple...what a sinking company. Only 3X as much profit as the #2 most profitable company in the world.You guys are priceless.

At Apple, Srouji can shape the future of computing with revolutionary new chips for wearables. At Intel, he would oversee a legacy business and helplessly watch as engineering-led companies are unable to catch the next wave to products combining design, technology, and fashion.
Tough choice.
