John Ternus is now listed on the Apple Leadership website. Ternus took over Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering from Dan Riccio back in January. Back in January, Apple announced that Dan Riccio would be stepping down from his role as Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering in order to take on a secret project. John Ternus, who has worked under Riccio, assumed the role at the same time. If you're wondering what Dan Riccio is working on now, a report from Bloomberg says that he has taken over the company's AR and VR efforts. Tim Cook had applauded both moves in the announcement, saying he was excited for what innovations they will continue to bring to life.
