Episode notes

Apple does not plan to name a replacement for Vice President of Industrial Design Evans Henke when she departs the company in the coming months, according to Bloomberg's Mark German. Instead, the report claims that Apple's product design team will report directly to the company's operations chief Jeff Williams. So there is no longer a King or Queen of the Design group. They are all mere serfs to Jeff Williams or something.
