Apple has announced that Sabih Khan, the company’s vice president of operations, will take over for Jeff Williams as chief operating officer later this month. In an announcement on Tuesday, Apple said the move is part of a “long-planned succession” that has Williams retiring at the end of this year.

Williams, who oversaw the introduction of the iPod and iPhone, as well as the Apple Watch, was appointed  COO in 2015. He had been seen as a potential successor to CEO Tim Cook and was called “Tim Cook’s Tim Cook.”

Khan will assume the role of COO later this month, while Williams will continue to oversee design and Apple’s health initiative until he retires. The design team, which reported to Williams following the departure of Apple designer Evans Hankey in 2023, will now begin reporting directly to Cook later this year after Williams retires. 

Williams joined Apple in 1998, where he has helped build out the company’s supply chain and “led the effort on Apple Watch over a decade ago and architected the company’s health strategy,” according to the press release. Khan worked at Apple for 30 years and became VP of operations in 2019.
