I'm not opposed to people having the option - but I for one hope if they have to focus on something, they focus on something else.....something we won't see coming. I've never seen the benefit of widgets (and I've used my fair share of em). LiveTiles maybe.....but not widgets. Too much battery sucking to save one extra flick or swipe or tap.
Woohoo!
Ding dong, the witch is dead.
Ive replacing Forstall as head of UI?
That's the best news to come out of Apple in years. Skeuomorphism has just been thrown under a bus, where it belongs.
Forstall deserves the sack over Maps.

Sounds like change for the better. An ex-Dixons UK boss had no place at Apple. Presumably Forstall is going because of the Apple Maps debacle and to try and recover lost ground on iOS. Next year could be very interesting.
Very good move!!!
This is a great restructure and will be beneficial to Apple for the long run. John Ive will do amazing things and the other players are in their perfect area's of expertise. Very nice move Apple this is very promising!!

yes.. 200 billion in one year (without growth). it will only take more than 1 decade if they go downhill.. really close.
Good riddance RE: Browett.
And how much did this mistake (which TC defended when Browett was hired but criticized) cost Apple?

Yeah! Wow, I certainly didn't expect this. Will be interesting to see what comes of it.
I know everyone will say this, but this really is huge news.
John Browett was just hired as the head of Apple Retail, so to be out so quickly is obviously a sign something was seriously wrong.
Everyone saw the writing on the wall for Forstall. Internally, he is reviled as being far too open about his ambition and taking credit for other people's work. He is the fall guy, for better or worse, when it comes to the limitations and problems with Siri, and of course the Maps debacle.
