Reading up on Alan Dye

Apple has elevated designers Steve Lemay and Molly Anderson to its executive leadership page, signaling a design-focused revamp alongside the well-received MacBook Neo launch.

Parker Ortolani argues 2025 tested tech assumptions: OpenAI must focus on models, Google reclaimed dominance, Alan Dye's Apple tenure was underrated, AI enables on-demand software, and Apple needs a big 2026 for AI.

The iOS keyboard's slide-to-type feature causes key resizing errors leading to frequent typos, a bug widely reported after recent software updates.

Alan Dye's decade-long leadership of Apple's human interface design is deemed a failure by critics; his departure to Meta and replacement by Stephen Lemay is seen as a positive shift.
