This Week in Apple: When the music stops

It’s the “Oops, All Apple Executives!” edition of This Week in Apple.

We no longer have to rage against the Dye-ing of the light

Breaking the week’s big news on Mastodon, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman said:

Apple’s top design executive Alan Dye is leaving the iPhone maker to become the Chief Design Officer at Meta in a blockbuster coup for the social networking giant and big loss for Apple.

Did… Alan Dye ghost write that? I’m not sure if Gurman polled the Apple community about this but, despite this supposed “big loss”, people seem just short of giddy about it.

Louie Mantia:

Alan Dye may have left for a more lucrative offer from Meta, but this is absolutely a good thing for Apple…

Chan Karunamuni:

…I could not be more excited for this new era.

Nick Heer:

Dye personally launches an overhaul of Apple’s entire visual interface language, then leaves.
