  Some of the teams that Giannandrea oversaw will move to Sabih Khan and Eddy Cue, such as AI Infrastructure and Search and Knowledge. Khan is Apple's new Chief Operating Officer who took over for Jeff Williams earlier this year ... Apple CEO Tim Cook thanked Giannandrea ...
Seems like Khan is preparing the mothership for when he eventually assumes the CEO role from Cook.

John Ternus is rumored to be the leading candidate for the next CEO. That would also make more sense in terms of age.

Nah, IS&T has always been under the CFO, and apparently some fraction of AIML is headed under them.

    Craig seems the type that would prefer to be closer to the tools than to be a CEO and manage all the other stuff that comes with it...

    The various interviews I've watched of his (and some of the leaked news) shows he's still quite deep in the tools.
