Apple is changing the way it manages the App Store, with Bloomberg suggesting that it has formed a department dedicated to overseeing alternative app stores.
Apple is splitting its App Store division in half, according to a report from Bloomberg. While one group of employees will run the App Store, the other will manage its approach to alternative marketplaces that have started opening up in the European Union. As part of the change, App Store vice president Matt Fischer will leave the company after more than a decade in the role.
Now, Apple senior director Carson Oliver will reportedly oversee the App Store division, while Ann Thai, a product director at the company, will head up the group that tackles alternative distribution. App Store chief Phil Schiller will oversee both divisions. The Verge reached out to Apple with a request for comment but didn’t immediately hear back.
