Cupertino (CA) – An employment dispute between Apple and IBM has been resolved. Apple announced today that Mark Papermaster will join Apple on April 24 to lead the firm’s iPod and iPhone hardware engineering teams. He replaces Tony Fadell, who recently retired.
Mark Papermaster will carry the title of senior vice president of Devices Hardware Engineering, effectively replacing and extending the role of Tony Fadell, who recently retired from his position as senior vice president, but remains with the company as an “advisor to the CEO”. Fadell was largely credited with the invention of the original iPod more than seven years ago and the creation of Apple’s audio content strategy.
