Apple has today updated their executive leadership page, showing that engineering chief Craig Federighi has officially been given the responsibility of leading Siri development, a role which previously belonged to Apple’s services chief Eddy Cue.
While Apple is only now officially naming Craig Federighi as head of Siri development, the transition has been apparent for several months, based on recent interviews and stage appearances at Apple’s keynotes.
Eddy Cue will continue to manage Apple Music, Apple Pay, Apple Maps, iCloud, iTunes Store and the iWork and iLife suites of apps.
Craig Federighi is Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering, reporting to CEO Tim Cook. Craig oversees the development of iOS, macOS, and Siri. His teams are responsible for delivering the software at the heart of Apple’s innovative products, including the user interface, applications and frameworks.
