Apple executive out after iPhone 4 antenna controversy

Apple maintains that complaints about the iPhone 4’s antenna design and reception were overblown. But an executive in charge of device hardware engineering has parted ways with Apple, according to media reports.


Mark Papermaster, who joined Apple in 2009 as senior vice president of devices hardware, is no longer with Apple, according to a report Saturday in the New York Times. The Times, which received confirmation from Apple of Papermaster’s departure, said it was not clear if the executive resigned or was dismissed. LINK
