EN: Apple's Devices Hardware boss leaving for iPhone 4 troubles
The Apple executive who oversaw development of the troubled iPhone 4 is leaving the company, reports BBC News. Mark Papermaster has been head of Apple's iPhone and iPod hardware engineering department since 2009 as senior vice president of Devices Hardware Engineering when he joined the company from IBM. His departure is definitely believed to be linked to the problems with the iPhone 4 antenna.
Surely, Apple would not comment on the reasons for his departure or whether he resigned or was fired, thinks BBC News and we totally agree on that matter. Now, that after an investigation by the influential Consumer Reports organisation the problem is confirmed, Apple can no longer deny the situation. And no one could recommend the product that way.
From the beginning the problem was announces Mr. Papermaster was not present at any of the press conference concerning iPhone 4 troubles. An Apple spokesman said Mr Papermaster's responsibilities would be assumed by Bob Mansfield who currently oversees engineering efforts for the company's Macintosh products.
