  • Jennifer Newstead, Senior Vice President and General Counsel: Newstead is Apple's top lawyer, overseeing all legal matters. She assumed the position on March 1, succeeding Katherine Adams, who had held the position since 2017. Prior to joining Apple, Newstead served as Meta's chief legal officer for six years.
  • Molly Anderson, Vice President of Industrial Design: Anderson and her team are responsible for the design of all Apple products, accessories, and their packaging. Anderson joined Apple in 2014, and she has led the Industrial Design team since 2024, although it is unclear when she officially became a VP. Anderson succeeds Jony Ive and Evans Hankey, among others.
  • Steve Lemay, Vice President of Human Interface Design: Lemay joined Apple in 1999, and he now leads the team responsible for software design across Apple's platforms. Lemay succeeded Alan Dye, who left Apple at the end of last year to lead design for Meta's Reality Labs division.

Apple also updated Eddy Cue's title to Senior Vice President of Services and Health on the page, and he received a new headshot alongside this change. Cue gained oversight of Apple's health and fitness teams at some point after Jeff Williams retired last year. Cue is an Apple veteran, having joined the company in 1989.

Most recently, Steve Lemay received the patent for the Apple Pencil shadow animation…

Which, ironically given our fellow commenter’s ranting and raving above, is a pretty fun and neat use of skeuomorphism from modern Apple design and Mr. Lemay.

Hope Lemay fix the 26 UI/UX bugs, contrast, inconsistencies and problems in general.

he was at Apple for the entire time Forstall had used the most user-friendly and intuitive UI design in the industry for personal computers and smartphones, which was based on skeuomorphism.
Yep, and he has hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of patents related to that skeuomorphic design, developing several of the elements of that design himself.


Steve Lemay is a clueless and mediocre hack (just like his boss).how clueless and mediocre does Lemay have to be OK with Apple having copied Microsoft's user-unfriendly flat design, and to continue to this day with flat design variants such as neumorphism and glassmorphism?
So let me get this straight, he’s a clueless and mediocre hack because he… Didn’t try to act like the design head when he, get this, wasn’t the design head? That makes… literally no sense.
But I get it, anything for engagement, no matter how nonsensical. “Tim Cook bad” and so on and so forth…

Here's to hoping Molly has a good British accent so she can do Jony-style narrative videos.

Yes, which only strengthens my point that Steve Lemay is a clueless and mediocre hack (just like his boss). Considering that Lemay was hired in 1999, and the first version Mac OS X was released around two years later in 2001, he was at Apple for the entire time Forstall had used the most user-friendly and intuitive UI design in the industry for personal computers and smartphones, which was based on skeuomorphism. So how clueless and mediocre does Lemay have to be OK with Apple having copied Microsoft's user-unfriendly flat design, and to continue to this day with flat design variants such as neumorphism and glassmorphism?
Forstall, is that you?
