Papermaster is leaving the company by Barbora Misakova

I have never been a fan of iPhone and all those Apple’s toys although I have always admired their cool look. On the other side I have never understood what is so “revolutionary” on them. People are freaking out every time this company comes with something new. And Apple Inc. has found millions of loyal customers around the world. Most of them were satisfied, until now. And that is the reason why Mark Papermaster, Apple executive, has to leave the company. Mark Papermaster worked at IBM for many years and when he decided in 2008 to move to Apple, it became central to a court case. Unfortunately, he didn’t stay with Apple for a long time. After the pro! blems with the device’s antenna, Papermaster responsible for hardware including this iPhone 4’s problematic antenna has to leave the company. As informed Apple spokesman Steve Dowling, Apple’s senior vice president of iPhone and iPod hardware engineering is leaving, but he refused to say whether Papermaster was fired or is leaving voluntarily. I would say that in company such as Apple, which is earning millions of dollars around the world, is any kind of mistake “mortal” and so there is no difference between voluntary leave and firing. Howsoever it happened we would probably get the answer neither from Downling, nor from Papermaster, as he could not be reached for comment at a phone number listed under his name. Bob Mansfield, Apple’s senior vice president of Macintosh hardware engineering, will be assuming all Papermaster’s responsibilities.
