Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 76176, member: 636"] Tony Fadell is apparently telling people he would take the CEO gig at Apple if they offered it to him, which is pretty wild considering Tim Cook might not even be leaving anytime soon. The iPod guy has some fans inside the company who think his aggressive style could shake things up, but sources say his polarizing reputation makes him a sketchy pick. Reports claimed Cook was stepping down next year with hardware VP John Ternus as the frontrunner, but Bloomberg pushed back hard, saying Cook is staying through at least 2028. Apple has been hemorrhaging talent like crazy lately, with the AI chief getting replaced, the design boss jumping to Meta, and the general counsel plus another VP both bailing. OpenAI has been hoovering up Apple engineers by the dozen, grabbing around 40 people recently for its iPhone competitor project. The executive exodus is making people wonder if something is seriously broken at the top. [/QUOTE]
