Apple's Got a New Boss for Making Things!
Big news from Apple! They've picked a new person to be in charge of making all their cool stuff. His name is Sabih Khan, and he's been working at Apple for a super long time – about 30 years!
He's taking over from Jeff Williams, who is retiring later this year. This change has been planned for a while.
Who is Sabih Khan?
Sabih Khan is a big deal because he's been the main person behind how Apple gets all the parts for its iPhones, MacBooks, and everything else, and then puts them all together. He joined Apple in 1995 and slowly worked his way up. By 2019, he was already in a very important job, making sure everything from getting parts to sending out finished products went smoothly.
Tim Cook, who is the boss of Apple, said Sabih is really smart at planning and helped build Apple's amazing system for making things. Tim also mentioned that Sabih has helped Apple be much kinder to the environment, cutting down their carbon pollution by a lot. "Sabih leads with his heart and his values," Tim said, showing how much he trusts him.
Why is This Important Now?
It's a tough time in the world for making things. There are sometimes not enough computer chips, and it's getting harder to make everything in just one place. Sabih is very good at handling these problems. He's even helped Apple start making some of its products in places like the US and India, instead of just China.
Also, Apple is always coming up with new ideas, especially with Artificial Intelligence (AI). Sabih's job will be to make sure Apple can easily make and sell these new things too.
Jeff Williams, the old boss, will still help out with design and health projects for a bit. But eventually, the design team will report straight to Tim Cook, meaning Tim will be even more focused on how Apple's products look and feel.
Sabih Khan's story is pretty cool. He was born in India and moved around a lot before coming to the US. He studied both business and engineering, which are both super useful for his new job.
So, as Sabih Khan steps into his new role, everyone will be watching to see how he keeps Apple making awesome products and handles all the challenges of making things around the world. It's a big step for Apple's future!
