Phil Schiller
By MacRumors Staff on October 7, 2021
Phil Schiller's official title is senior vice president of worldwide marketing at Apple, but his responsibilities go beyond the marketing of Apple products. He's had a key influence on Apple devices ranging from the iPod to the iPhone, and in 2015, he became responsible for overseeing the App Store.
Schiller, a member of Apple's executive team, joined the company in 1987, left in 1993, and re-joined in 1997 when Steve Jobs returned to Apple. Phil Schiller is one of the faces of Apple and is often onstage during events to present new products and software.
