Breaking Analysis: Tim Cook’s New Regime – Collaboration is King Across iPhone, Software & Services

Two Apple executives have been asked to leave the company for unrelated reasons, leaving big shoes to fill. Scott Forstall, who was in charge of Apple’s mobile software unit, was let go after he refused to sign his name to an apology letter about shortcomings in Apple’s new mapping service. John Browett, who spent a mere five months as chief of Apple’s retail operations, also parted ways with the company. Here to discuss Apple’s restructuring is SiliconAngle News Desk Editor Kristen Nicole, who dropped in for this morning’s NewsDesk segment with Kristin Feledy.
