He is going at the Hyundai plant in the US to start building what would be the future manufacturing line for Apple Car.
Your heard it here first folks! Obviously, this is just a personal speculation, but it makes sense. Tim wants a person with proven track record of delivering products to the store to get in charge of this project. There had many delays in the last few years, and it seems that Tim wants to bring the heavy artillery to get the car out as soon as possible. Being a very big project, it makes sense to have various VPs involved 100% of their time on the car. You cant be dealing with iPad antenna issue in the morning, and designing car suspension in the afternoon. Dan's specialty is also the industrial design, which is crucial part for developing a car, apart from the engineering itself. We will see soon I guess but this news is very promising indeed.

And...what's the main reason(s) that made him doted? I don't think he had done any terrible mistakes when he served VP of Hardware Engineering.
Are we just rewriting history, lol?
Bob quit because that kid that Steve liked, the one that refused to sign the apology note when Maps 1.0 sucked, was such a pompous ass...
Bob was waaaaaaay more important than the douchenozzle kid, so that became Tim’s first firing- then he had to bribe Bob with like 25 years of pay to come back for a few years before retiring for real.
Maybe you could tell me a single detail of that situation that is even vaguely similar to anything in this article??
Will keep a close eye on this guy's next project.
Apple can get in alot of trouble if they intentionally suppressed Third-Party App Dev Innovation for their own benefit.

What is Dan Riccio’s new project at Apple? I’m betting on a touch-screen Mac
It’s time to get excited.

Speaking of rewriting history. Lol. Timmy was the one who rushed Maps out the door, refused to take responsibility for it and threw one of Apple's most important employees under the bus because Tim "I Don't Like Confrontation" Cook" was looking for any excuse to fire Forstall. Since Forstall's departure iOS has gotten demonsterably worse under Ive & HairForce One as has MacOS
oh please, you don't need to dedicate an executive full-time towards this....the tech is already out there, PCs have already integrated this technology.kWhat is Dan Riccio’s new project at Apple? I’m betting on a touch-screen Mac

Kind of predicted John Ternus would lead hardware team.Congratulations to the new senior vice president of Hardware Engineering John Ternus.
Riccio will be on the AR glasses team for certain!
Bob Mansfield has been in retirement a few months now after 4yr of a delayed retirement.Dam, I saw the first few words and instantly I thought “ Bob is returning.” Then I readjusted to reality.
I agree. He'll lead that team at least until that product is shipped and out the door. Once that's done I think he'll officially retire.
I'm telling you, they are just around the corner!Or Air Tags. They will change the world!
Yes, I know, hence the reference to "readjusting to reality." But thanks for the reminder. I always love seeing his name in a thread.
This is been around the corner upside down past shoppers drug Mart in the underworld and of the above world and underverse first since time.
I recall the major controversy that emerged within Apple when Mansfield tried to step out and a lot of employees rejected Riccio, forcing Cook to get Mansfield back as an adviser. Obviously Mansfield was shifted out of Mac hardware after a point, and we'll see if Riccio follows in his footsteps.
Personally, comparing Mansfield and Riccio eras of Mac, Riccio's tenure was quite poor. It's only in the last year or so that Apple's quality has started to turn around, and who knows how much involvement Riccio has had with it. If so, whoever has been turning the ship around needs the spot right now.
