Longtime Apple Inc. Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams will hand off the job to deputy Sabih Khan later this month, marking a major transition for the iPhone maker.
Williams is taking the step as part of a “long-planned succession,” Apple said in a statement Tuesday. He will continue to report to Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook and oversee the company’s design team, as well as managing health initiatives. The design group will begin reporting directly to Cook after Williams retires later in 2025, Apple said.
