Apple shakes up its leadership ahead of major health push
Big changes at Apple: with longtime COO Jeff Williams set to retire at the end of 2025, Eddy Cue (the guy behind Apple Music, TV+, and iCloud) is stepping up to lead Apple's health and fitness teams.
This move comes as Apple is preparing to launch its new Health+ subscription service in 2026, signaling a growing focus on wellness as part of its services business.

Putting Cue—who's already shaped some of Apple's most popular platforms—in charge signals just how serious they are about making health a core part of your Apple experience.
Other execs are also taking on new roles: Craig Federighi will now run watchOS software, and John Ternus is leading Apple Watch hardware.
