Sorry, you replied as I was writing this comment.
Further comment:
painting Apple picking someone to lead design (although this article intentionally tries to state it both way: they are and aren't giving responsibility to Ternus) as a "strange arrangement" (and Bloomberg has now blocked their website from being archived, so I can't even verify what is actually said anymore) is just bullshit.
Bloomberg and Gurman always paint everything somehow in a bad light. If Apple doesn't pick a specific SVP for Design, then Gurman labels it as a disaster. When they do pick someone to lead design, then it's labeled as a disaster.
He also strangely says in another tweet that Jony Ive led design until 2019. The imprecision is unsurprising, and he continues the imprecision by saying that both Tim Cook and Jony Ive were in charge of Apple's design team from 2015-2017. Yes, you read that correctly. Bloomberg is falsely claiming that even as Tim Cook promoted Jony Ive to Chief Design Officer, giving him 100% control and even more power, that somehow Tim Cook was still the one in charge of Apple's design team, even as Bloomberg ALSO claims that Tim Cook distances himself from the design team and that he doesn't involve himself in it.
How the fuck is any of this allowed to be published?

oh, I am now confused. When it said Ternus was in charge of hardware and software design, I didn’t read that as him being in charge of the way stuff looks (other than the “how it looks” design team may report to him). I was thinking “design” in the sense that I was a designer - making it work.
