$蘋果 (AAPL.US)$ 據報道，隨着產品設計副總裁唐坦的離職，其領導層發生了重大變化。
Tan, a pivotal figure in the design of the iPhone and Apple Watch, will be leaving the company in February in what is the first of a series of notable changes in the hardware engineering group, according to a news report by Bloomberg.
彭博社的新聞報道稱，譚是iPhone和Apple Watch設計的關鍵人物，他將於2月離開該公司，這是硬件工程部門一系列重大變更中的第一個。
Tan's exit, which was not publicly announced but known by sources familiar with the matter, marks a substantial transition in Apple's design approach.
陳的退出沒有公開宣佈，但知情人士知道，這標誌着蘋果設計方法的實質性轉變。
He reports to John Ternus, senior vice president of hardware engineering, under whom the division will reshuffle responsibilities to adapt to this change, the report read.
報告稱，他向硬件工程高級副總裁約翰·特爾努斯彙報，該部門將在他的領導下重新調整職責以適應這一變化。
In the wake of Tan's departure, several deputies to Ternus and Tan, including Richard Dinh, Tan's top lieutenant, are poised to take on expanded roles. Dinh will now report directly to Ternus. Additionally, Kate Bergeron, responsible for Mac teams, will oversee the design of the Apple Watch, indicating a strategic realignment within the hardware engineering team, according to the report.
陳離職後，Ternus和Tan的幾位副手，包括陳的高級中尉理查德·丁，準備擔任更多職務。Dinh 現在將直接向 Ternus 彙報。此外，報告稱，負責Mac團隊的凱特·伯傑龍將監督Apple Watch的設計，這表明硬件工程團隊內部將進行戰略調整。
