Steve Hotelling was responsible for bringing to market the iPhone touchscreen and TouchID. Now he is leaving the company.
“The smartest at Apple”
Steve Hotelling was also responsible for health sensors and Face ID under Johny Srouji, who is responsible for all hardware. In other words, this is a bigger loss for the company. “Hotelling’s work included some of Apple’s most complex and critical technologies for the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, as well as the upcoming Vision Pro headset.”
Hotelling is referred to as the smartest in the company with his name on hundreds of patents, including the already mentioned touch screen on the iPhone, iPad and he invented Touch ID. It doesn’t stop there, because he also developed self-developed sensors for cameras, led the work with depth sensors for AR, vibration feedback and the ProMotion 120Hz screens.
In addition to the purely design-technical aspect, Hotelling must be a driver of innovation in the company. Alan Gilchrist and Wei Chen are responsible for respectively camera and depth sensors and a number of panel technologies and will report to Srouji.
