John Ternus pushes Craig Federighi to accelerate Apple's software roadmap

9to5mac.com —

New Apple CEO John Ternus is pressuring software chief Craig Federighi to accelerate Apple’s software roadmap, particularly in AI, citing frustration over the company’s slower pace versus competitors. Ternus held a closed-door meeting with Federighi, urging faster progress beyond Siri improvements. Federighi’s hands-on management style has left employees feeling they have limited influence, and he reportedly plans only 12-18 months ahead versus longer hardware roadmaps. Separately, Vision Pro and Siri AI leader Mike Rockwell is seriously considering stepping down next year, which would be a major blow. Apple is also testing a new development pipeline giving engineers 50% more coding time.
