Even though he iPhone Air model It is very recent, and they have just presented it, there is already some disappointment, especially in terms of sales, since the company had a larger stock and production than it really was, having to reduce it.
However, it is not the only bad news, and we now know that, the designer and person in charge of presenting the iPhone Air, would have made the decision to leave Appleso the future of a second version of the model remains even more up in the air.
Abidur Chowdhury leaves Apple
Abidur Chowdhury, one of the designers who worked at Apple, has decided to leave the company. He was the one who presented the iPhone Air at the last event, so his departure has surprised many people, because he looked like someone with a lot of future within the design team.
It doesn't seem like it's going away because of iPhone Air sales, which were a little lower than expected. Rather, it seems that wants try your luck at an artificial intelligence startupsomething that attracts him more and offers him new challenges. It is an interesting change, because it is not common to see someone with his profile leave Apple to go to a completely different project, and even more so when, despite the sales, the product has been liked, a lot.
Chowdhury started working at Apple in 2019just when Jony Ive left. Since then he had been gaining prominence and confidence within the company, and now he is leaving leaves an important gap. Furthermore, he is not the only one to have left Apple recently, as several veteran designers have also left the company in recent years, especially those who worked with Ive. It seems that the creative team is going through a period of important changes, although, as we said, it has not been due to real failures.
As if that were not enough, recently Jeff Williams, who supervised the design team, also retired. Now, everything is in the hands, directly, of the CEO, Tim Cook (who could also leave his position soon, as we could see in recent rumors that point to 2026). All this indicates that the team structure is changing a lot, and that Apple is trying to adapt to a new stage in its products and way of working.
In short, Chowdhury's departure is important news, not only because of his talent and the work he did on the iPhone Air, but because it reflects a moment of transition within Apple. It's interesting to see how someone who was at the top of design decides to completely turn their career around and explore new opportunities outside the company.
We will see how the company adapts without its presence, and if this will change the course of the Air model, or simply give it a different look that will come in handy. We will be attentive to the news, and we will come to tell you about it, for now there is nothing left but to wait to see who replaces him, and wish him luck in his new stage.
