00:00Apple iPhone Air Designer Has Reportedly Left the Company
00:03Abadur Chowdhury, an Apple designer who played an important role in bringing the iPhone Air to life, has reportedly left the company.
00:12Only a few months after the launch of the iPhone Air, he reportedly left the tech giant for an AI startup.
00:17While this report may seem like a major blow to Apple's design team, that might not actually be the case.
00:23Apple iPhone Air Designer Has Left the Tech Giant, report states.
00:26A recent report from Bloomberg states that the designer who introduced the brand new iPhone Air during the September 2025 Apple event has left the company to work for an AI startup.
00:38Although the report claims that Apple designer Abadur Chowdhury's departure has caused concern at Apple, the impact on the tech giant may be less significant than it appears.
00:47Though higher compensation elsewhere may have influenced the move, the company may not be worried about Chowdhury's exit.
00:52Chowdhury joined Apple's design team in 2019, which is the same year Apple's Joni Ive left to start his own design firm.
01:00Since then, Chowdhury seems to have done well at Apple and had a key role in the iPhone Air's design, as only a few employees get the opportunity to speak at Apple events, especially while introducing a new product.
01:12Reports suggest that very few employees who worked under Ive are still at the company, and Apple has seen many high-profile designers leave over the last few years.
01:20The iPhone Air is Apple's latest variation of the iPhone, introduced in September 2025.
01:28This is Apple's thinnest iPhone ever, starting at $999 for the 256-gigabyte model and going up to $1,399 for the 1-terabyte variant.
01:40Along with the iPhone Air, Apple also introduced the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max on September 9, 2025, all coming with Apple's latest AI called Apple Intelligence.
