Apple's UI executive poached by Meta, and three other executives leave in Apple AI exodus

• Apple UI exec Alan Dye is leaving the company to go to Meta
• Many leaders have gone to Meta and OpenAI, but some have done the reverse
• Discussion about Tim Cook stepping down as CEO is so far unsubstantiated

Alan Dye, VP of Human Interface Design for nearly two decades, is the latest exec to be leaving the iPhone maker as he steps over to Meta’s Reality Labs to become Chief Design Officer.

In a LinkedIn post, Dye described his new role as an opportunity “to build something from the ground up” and “invent an entirely new design language.”

Replacing Dye at Apple, Stephen Lemay will be stepping up after around two and a half decades at the Cupertino giant.
