Apple Designer's Departure: Shifting Design Landscape
Update: 2025-11-18
Description
Abidur Chowdhury, a prominent Apple designer, has left the company, causing internal buzz. His departure isnt linked to the iPhone Airs poor sales, which has struggled due to its mediocre camera, battery life, and high price point. Despite being Apples thinnest iPhone, demand is low, leading to a significant production cut. This departure reflects a broader trend within Apples design division, with many original team members leaving since Jony Ives departure in 2019. Design teams now report directly to CEO Tim Cook. Meanwhile, OpenAI, which recently acquired Jony Ives studio LoveFrom, is stepping up to compete with Apple in developing AI-powered devices.
