Apple reworks leadership of AirPods, HomePod team

Apple’s HomePod mini
The team responsible for AirPods, HomePod, and similar audio products at Apple will soon undergo leadership changes due to the departure of longtime acoustics vice president Gary Geaves, who plans to retire.

Geaves is stepping down from his role, though he will be replaced with “top deputy” Ruchir Davé.
Apple’s acoustics group has approximately 300 members that have developed audio technology for the AirPods, HomePods, and other Apple devices. The team was responsible for creating spatial audio, the 3D sound feature that has been built into AirPods, the Vision Pro, and other devices.
Geaves joined Apple in 2011 from Bowers & Wilkins, and Bloomberg says he will be staying on at Apple as an advisor… Over the course of the last two years, Geaves has been working on an overhaul to the AirPods lineup, and the first updates are expected this year.

MacDailyNews Take: Congrats to Geaves on his retirement!
