Apple chief rings the changes

Apple says mobile software head Scott Forstall and retail chief John Browett are departing as chief executive Tim Cook embarks on a sweeping management overhaul at the world’s most valuable company.

Forstall will leave next year and serve as an adviser to Cook until then, Cupertino, California- based Apple said.

Executives Jony Ive, Eddy Cue, Bob Mansfield, and Craig Federighi will take on added management responsibilities, the company said. Forstall is believed to have been pushed out.
