Mike Rockwell, who led Apple Vision Pro before taking over Siri AI, is seriously considering his future, according to Mark Gurman (@markgurman). AppleInsider relayed the report: Rockwell could step down as head of Siri AI during 2027, and he might leave Apple entirely.

Leakly track record

If he does, the report expects his duties to be split between former Google AI executive Amar Subramanya and Sebastien Marineau. AppleInsider notes that Marineau reports to Craig Federighi, and that there is no indication Federighi plans to leave soon.

Apple has not commented. Gurman framed the move as a possibility, not a decision.
