Passionategeekz June 15th news, this year’s WWDC25 In the middle, John Giannandrea, head of Apple’s artificial intelligence department, did not appear at the event, which attracted widespread attention in the industry.

In response, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gulman revealed thatJohn Giannandrea has gradually faded out of Apple’s core management, and it may even “leave Apple” soon。

Passionategeekz noticed that Giannandrea was previously the head of Google’s search and AI department and joined Apple in 2018. He was originally placed on high expectations. However, it has never been able to truly integrate into Apple’s internal culture, and its concepts on AI “also have obvious differences with other senior management.” In the end,He was recently demoted after Apple’s smart project was slow to advance and key features failed to be delivered on time。

By contrast, in last year’s WWDC24, John Giannandrea made a public appearance and was interviewed by the media. And in this year’s WWDC25,Not only did Giannandrea himself not show up, but Apple’s statement on AI is also extremely “cautious”Apple’s software director Craig Federighi only briefly mentioned in her speech, “Apple intelligence needs more polishing time”, and the entire press conference focused more on system updates such as the new Liquid Glass visual style introduced by iOS 26.

In this regard, Gulman believes that John Giannandrea’s power within Apple has been weakened and Apple “may no longer trust him.”
