"Joz's many years of leadership in the Product Marketing organization make him perfectly suited to this new role and will ensure a seamless transition at a moment when the team is engaged in such important and exciting work. I'm thrilled that the whole executive team will benefit from his collaboration, ideas, and energy."

"I first started at Apple when I was 27, this year I turned 60 and it is time for some planned changes in my life. I'll keep working here as long as they will have me, I bleed six colors, but I also want to make some time in the years ahead for my family, friends, and a few personal projects I care deeply about."

Going forward, Joswiak will be in charge of Apple's product management and product marketing, developer relations, market research, business management, and education, enterprise, and international marketing.

Joswiak has been serving as vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing for the past four years and has been at Apple for more than 20 years.

Maybe they are supposed to be funny, but there are a lot of negative and immature comments in this thread about Phil.

Phil has been one of my favourite Apple execs. Truly a nice guy, down to earth. I am glad he's able to recognize when it's time for a change. Family matters, and every day matters.

Way to go, Phil. Apple would not be what it is without the passion that you brought to the company and the community. Now go enjoy your extra time off. :)

So he got fired in an extremely nice way?
Well, Phil turned 60 in June, so this more looks like a part-time retirement to me.

WHOA. when I woke up today I didn't expect to be reading this.

Phil has been there for 23 years and is currently 60 years old. Honestly 23 years of vesting stock options and working at the pace a VP at Apple has work both with media exposure and managing hundreds of product maketing decisions and recently the App Store, I'm not surprised at all that he's transitioning out. He is a multi-millionaire many times over and has given an equivalent of lifetime hours to the company in the last 20 years good for him, go enjoy retirement (if that's even possible for someone who works at his level)
