Just a few weeks after the launch of iOS 7, Apple's Vice President of Engineering for iOS Henri Lamiraux has retired and left the company, 9to5 Mac reports. A quick look at his Facebook page confirms the news. Lamiraux, who joined Apple in 1990, worked closely with one-time iOS lead Scott Forstall on the original iPhone, and has his name on a number of important patents including visual voicemail. More recently, he worked under Craig Federighi, who's in charge of software more broadly at Apple.

 

So it looks like it was an expected departure, really curious who will be the next engineer.

If he's retired than i doubt it was "unexpected". I'm sure there is an equally talented replacement lined up.

It looks like he left on good terms so it's probably fine

still, maybe the next engineer has some fresh ideas

Well of course. If hr was the top designer and worked there for over 20 years he probably can retire for him and 3 others
