In 2023, Apple has lost a number of senior executives who were responsible for key aspects of the company, including the senior employee who created Touch ID. Now, Apple has lost yet another senior executive — Peter Russell-Clarke — who was Apple’s senior designer and played a key role in designing a wide range of Apple products, and even the company’s infrastructure.
As reported by Bloomberg, eter Russell-Clarke has notably resigned after a 20-year tenure at the company, where he was the last remaining senior designer from the Jony Ive era.

Notably, he has worked on Apple’s mainline products, including iMac, iPod Nano, MacBooks, and even iPads. Moreover, he helped design the look of the company headquarters (Apple Park in Cupertino), and its various retail stores that are situated around the world. In addition, his legacy goes as far as having his name in 1000 patents filed by Apple.
Clarke, unlike some recent departures, isn’t retiring from working altogether; instead, he is switching his job, and role. Clarke has joined a company called ‘Vast’ where he will share his “insights across all aspects of industrial design."
Clarke is among a growing number of senior employees departing the iPhone maker. Earlier this month, Steve Hotelling, who played a key role in the development of the Touch ID biometric system, was reported to be leaving Apple as well. Hotelling’s role at Apple revolves around engineering components such as displays, health sensors, and biometrics like Face ID.
He currently serves as a vice president in the company. He, too, will leave behind a rich legacy at Apple. He is reportedly responsible for hundreds of patents held by Apple and has been one of the key minds behind the Apple iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.
