Apple redesigns Siri – Vision Pro boss takes the lead

Apple has reshuffled its leadership team and placed the Siri team under new leadership. Mike Rockwell, previously responsible for Vision Pro, is taking over the voice assistant. The reason for this is delays in the introduction of new Apple Intelligence features, which are intended to more closely integrate artificial intelligence into Apple products. Apple CEO Tim Cook has reportedly lost confidence in the previous AI chief, John Giannandrea, at least with regard to implementation. Giannandrea will remain with the company but will lose direct influence over Siri.

The decision suggests that Apple is dissatisfied with the development of its voice assistant so far. Siri has repeatedly been criticized for its limited functionality, while competitors like Google and OpenAI have made great strides. The redesign could be an attempt to catch up.

Restructuring and background

Change in Siri leadership

According to a Bloomberg report, Apple has decided to redistribute responsibility for Siri. Mike Rockwell, who previously led the Vision Products Group, will take over the Siri team and report directly to Apple's software chief, Craig Federighi. John Giannandrea, who previously led Siri, will remain with Apple but lose control of the voice assistant. He will continue to oversee research and development of AI technologies, but will not lead the practical implementation of the Siri product.

Why Apple is taking this step

The decision comes as no surprise. Apple was already struggling with internal issues in the further development of Siri in April 2023. The Vision Pro team reportedly expressed frustration with the voice assistant's limitations at the time. They even considered developing alternative control methods for the device to bypass Siri. Rockwell's now taking over responsibility for Siri suggests that Apple is planning a fundamental overhaul. Rockwell is said to have repeatedly criticized Siri in internal discussions and made suggestions for improvements. His experience with Vision Pro could help make the voice assistant more flexible and personalized.

Further personnel changes in the Siri team

In addition to Rockwell, two executives from his current team are moving to the Siri division. One of them is Aimee Nugent, who was officially transferred to the Siri department in recent days. She has a reputation for tackling difficult projects and is expected to help restructure the organization before Rockwell himself becomes more involved in the team. According to Bloomberg, Rockwell had long been considered as a possible successor to Giannandrea. The decision to finally place the Siri team under his leadership is likely a strategic move to advance the stagnating development of Apple's AI strategy.

Impact on Vision Pro

With Rockwell's move to Siri, the Vision Pro team also needs new leadership. Paul Meade, who was previously responsible for Vision Pro hardware development, will take over this role. He previously worked under Rockwell and will assume his previous responsibilities. The restructuring demonstrates that Apple wants to pay more attention to Siri without neglecting the continued development of Vision Pro. The question is how Rockwell's new role will affect the continued development of the mixed reality device and whether his vision for Siri is compatible with Giannandrea's existing AI research (via Bloomberg).

Apple Intelligence and Siri: A reboot with an uncertain future

With the redesign, Siri could finally receive a major overhaul. Apple is working to integrate AI more deeply into its products, and Siri is expected to play a central role in this. Until now, Apple's voice assistant has often been limited compared to its competitors. Google Assistant and Alexa offer more flexible responses, while OpenAI has reached a whole new level of AI-powered interaction with ChatGPT. Apple now apparently wants to catch up with a new strategy. It remains to be seen how Rockwell will further develop Siri and whether he will be able to push forward the integration of Apple Intelligence into the entire ecosystem. The coming months will show whether the redesign proves to be the right move or whether Apple will continue to struggle with delays and technical challenges. (Photo by Unsplash / Carles Rabada)
