Tim Cook fiercely disputes 'absurd' reports about Jony Ive's departure from Apple
Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook on Monday fiercely disputed a report about the departure of design chief Jony Ive and the company's ability to uphold its commitment to innovative design.report published Sunday night by The Wall Street Journal
Cook does not often publicly rebut news reports but he appeared compelled to do so given his frustrations with the article, which said that the company is prioritizing operations at the expense of design. The rebuttal from Cook, who took over the top job at Apple after the death of Steve Jobs, comes as the company is trying to demonstrate that Ive's departure is not a sign of greater troubles.
But on Sunday night, The Wall Street Journal's Tripp Mickle reported that Ive"had been growing more distant from Apple’s leadership" in part because he was frustrated with Cook's"more operations-focused company,” according to several sources familiar with his departure who were not named. While Apple has in the past decade become one of the world’s most valuable companies, it now faces scrutiny over its ability to continue creating new products that change the way consumers interact with the world. It remains massively profitable, with $30 billion in earnings over the last six months, but analysts have expressed concern over the fact that it hasn't had a major product hit since the iPad, in 2010.
