Another day, another major shift: Meta has once again poached a Cupertino veteran. This time, it's Alan Dye who is parting ways with Apple.

Alan Dye led the company's user interface design team starting in 2015. After the legendary designer Jony Ive left, Dye took on a more significant role, helping to define how the operating systems, apps, and various devices looked and felt.
He was crucial in designing interfaces for major products, including the Apple Watch, the iPhone X, and most recently, the Vision Pro headset. In a move that surprised many in the industry, Dye has decided to leave Apple to join Meta.
At Meta, he will take on a new leadership position as Chief Design Officer for a studio focusing on hardware, software, and the critical integration of AI features into devices like smart glasses.
Meta is up to something, and I guess we'll get a ton more gadgets by Zuck's company in the near future.

Who is succeeding Alan Dye at Apple?
Apple has said that Stephen Lemay will take over as the head of the user interface design team, replacing Alan Dye. Lemay is a long-serving designer who has been with Apple since 1999.
According to a statement from CEO Tim Cook, Lemay has been a key contributor to the design of every major Apple interface released since 1999, consistently maintaining a very high standard for excellence and collaboration.
Lemay steps into the role during a period of significant change for Apple, as Dye's departure adds to a recent trend of key executives leaving the design and AI divisions, including the former COO and the head of artificial intelligence.
