Michal Marek Ndi mphamvu kusintha kwabungwe pamapangidwe a Apple Johny Srouji adalowa mu utsogoleri wapamwamba wa kampani. Posachedwapa wakhala mutu wa teknoloji ya hardware, ndipo ngati tiyang'ana mbiri yake, tidzapeza kuti Tim Cook anali ndi chifukwa chomveka chomulimbikitsa. Srouji anali kumbuyo kwazinthu ziwiri zofunika kwambiri za Apple m'zaka zaposachedwa. Adatenga nawo gawo pakupanga mapurosesa ake kuchokera pagulu la A komanso adathandizira pakupanga chala chala cha Touch ID.
Srouji, wachiarabu wachi Israeli wochokera ku mzinda wa Haifa, adalandira madigiri ake a bachelor ndi masters kuchokera ku dipatimenti ya University of Computer Science. Technion - Israel Institute of Technology. Asanalowe ku Apple, Johny Srouji adagwira ntchito ku Intel ndi IBM. Anagwira ntchito ngati manejala ku Israel Design Center kwa wopanga mapurosesa odziwika bwino. Ku IBM, adatsogolera chitukuko cha purosesa ya Power 7.
Srouji atayamba ku Cupertino, anali wotsogolera gawo lomwe likugwira ntchito ndi tchipisi ta m'manja ndi "kuphatikiza kwakukulu" (VLSI). Paudindo uwu, adatenga nawo gawo pakupanga purosesa yake ya A4, yomwe idawonetsa kusintha kwakukulu kwa iPhones ndi iPads zam'tsogolo. Chip choyamba chinawonekera mu 2010 mu iPad ndipo chawona kusintha kwakukulu kuyambira pamenepo. Purosesa pang'onopang'ono idakhala yamphamvu kwambiri ndipo mpaka pano kupambana kwakukulu kwa dipatimenti yapadera iyi ya Apple ndi Pulogalamu ya A9X, zomwe zimakwaniritsa "Desktop performance". Chip A9X Apple imagwiritsa ntchito mu iPad Pro.
Srouji adagwiranso nawo ntchito yopanga sensor ID ya Touch ID, yomwe idapangitsa kuti atsegule foni pogwiritsa ntchito chala. Tekinolojeyi idawonekera koyamba mu iPhone 5s mu 2013. Ukatswiri wa Srouji ndi zoyenerera zake sizimathanso apa. Malinga ndi zomwe Apple idalemba za director wake watsopano, Srouji akutenga nawo gawo pakupanga mayankho ake pankhani ya mabatire, kukumbukira ndi zowonetsera mukampani.
Kukwezedwa kwa director of hardware technology kumapangitsa Srouji kukhala wofanana ndi Dan Ricci, yemwe ali ndi udindo wa director of hardware engineering pakampani. Riccio wakhala ndi Apple kuyambira 1998 ndipo pano akutsogolera magulu a mainjiniya omwe amagwira ntchito pa Mac, iPhone, iPad ndi iPod.
M'zaka zaposachedwa, injiniya wina wa hardware, Bob Mansfield, watsogolera magulu omwe akugwira ntchito pazigawo za semiconductor. Koma mu 2013, iye anabwerera pang'ono kudzipatula, pamene anachoka ku "ntchito yapadera" timu. Koma Mansfield sanataye ulemu wake. Munthu uyu akupitiriza kuulula kwa Tim Cook yekha.
Kukwezeleza kwa Srouji pamalo owoneka ngati amenewa kumatsimikizira kufunikira kwa Apple kuti ipange mayankho ake ndi zida zake. Zotsatira zake, Apple ili ndi malo ochulukirapo opangira zatsopano zogwirizana ndi zomwe amagulitsa ndipo ali ndi mwayi wothawa omwe akupikisana nawo. Kuphatikiza pa tchipisi ta mndandanda wa A, Apple ikupanganso makina ake opulumutsa mphamvu a M-series ndi ma S chips apadera opangidwa mwachindunji ku Apple Watch.
Kuphatikiza apo, pakhala mphekesera zaposachedwa kuti Apple ikhoza mtsogolo komanso perekani tchipisi tazojambula, yomwe ingakhale gawo la "A" chips. Tsopano ku Cupertino amagwiritsa ntchito ukadaulo wa PowerVR wosinthidwa pang'ono kuchokera ku Imagination Technologies. Koma ngati Apple idakwanitsa kuwonjezera GPU yake ku tchipisi take, ikhoza kukankhira magwiridwe antchito ake apamwamba kwambiri. Mwachidziwitso, Apple ingachite popanda mapurosesa ochokera ku Intel, ndipo ma Mac amtsogolo amatha kuyendetsedwa ndi tchipisi tawo tokhala ndi kamangidwe ka ARM, komwe kangapereke magwiridwe antchito okwanira, miyeso yaying'ono komanso kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu zochepa.
