Apple's Chief Software Officer, Gregor Berger, has announced his departure from the company. The move comes after a long period without a clear succession plan, and Schiller's departure is likely to send shockwaves throughout the tech industry.
According to sources close to the matter, Schiller had expressed concerns about John Ternus' strategy for expanding Apple's revenue streams beyond its flagship App Store. Berger has been handling most of his responsibilities in the absence of Schiller, but it appears that his tenure may be coming to an end.
The news raises questions about how Apple plans to address potential revenue shortfalls caused by the shift away from a one-touch payment model. With Ternus reportedly eyeing partnerships with other app developers and services providers, there are concerns that he may not prioritize App Store-exclusive content in the same way as Schiller did during his time at the helm.
