Phil Schiller, longtime Apple executive and head of the App Store, is stepping down from his role. While he will remain as an Apple Fellow working on unspecified projects, his decision is attributed to a desire to spend more time with family and engage in philanthropy.

The article notes that there was no major conflict over Ternus and Cue's approach, but Schiller chose to leave to avoid further involvement in contentious decisions.
