Jony Ive left Apple in 2019 to start an independent design company called LoveFrom. However, Jony Ive did not break ties with Apple. Ive; He said the company LoveFrom will remain one of Apple’s primary customers.
It is not uncommon for Apple executives to be called potential candidates for the CEO position. It was reported that Johny Srouji, Apple’s chip production chief, was on the list of candidates for Intel’s CEO position in 2019. However, the position was eventually filled by Bob Swan.
It is not known who will be Ferrari’s new CEO for now. Probably, a name will be brought to the CEO seat, which remains vacant before the end of 2020. Let’s see if this name will be from Apple or will it be another name?
