Back in January, Apple announced that Dan Riccio would be stepping down from his role as Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering in order to take on a secret project. John Ternus, who has worked under Riccio, assumed the role at the same time.

Tim Cook had applauded both moves in the announcement, saying he was excited for what innovations they will continue to bring to life.
"Every innovation Dan has helped Apple bring to life has made us a better and more innovative company, and we're thrilled that he'll continue to be part of the team. John's deep expertise and wide breadth of experience make him a bold and visionary leader of our Hardware Engineering teams. I want to congratulate them both on these exciting new steps, and I'm looking forward to many more innovations they'll help bring to the world."
