Justice Served: Unveiling the Names of Brianna Ghey’s Teenage Killers

The perpetrators responsible for the murder of trans schoolgirl Brianna Ghey, identified as Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe, both 16, have been publicly named as they receive life sentences for their heinous crime. Mrs Justice Yip revealed their identities after lifting the anonymity order, given the severity of their actions. Throughout the trial, the duo had been referred to as Girl X and Boy Y, with their disturbing shared interest in violence, torture, and serial killers highlighted during court proceedings. Their joint planning of “dark fantasies” was a chilling aspect discussed by the jury. At the time of Brianna's tragic murder on February 11 last year, Jenkinson and Ratcliffe, both 15 then, had compiled a “kill list” that included four other teenagers. During the sentencing at Manchester Crown Court, Brianna's father, Peter Spooner, expressed his devastation, describing Jenkinson and Ratcliffe as “pure evil.” In his victim impact statement, he remarked, “Now...

Apple's iPhone And Watch Product Design Chief To Depart In February

 Apple's iPhone And Watch Product Design Chief To Depart In February

People familiar with Apple's operations say the Tang Tan departure is a blow, and that he made critical decisions about Apple's most important products.

Apple's iPhone And Watch Product Design Chief To Depart In February

The executive in charge of product design for the iPhone and other Apple devices is leaving the company.

The Apple Inc. executive in charge of product design for the iPhone and smartwatch is stepping down, bringing a shake-up to the company's most critical product lines.

Tang Tan, whose title is vice president of product design, is leaving in February, according to people with knowledge of the matter, who asked not to be identified because the move isn't public. Tan reports to John Ternus, senior vice president of hardware engineering, and the division is reshuffling duties to handle the transition. 

Several deputies to Ternus and Tan are getting expanded roles as part of the changes. That includes Richard Dinh, Tan's top lieutenant and head of iPhone product design. Dinh is being elevated to report directly to Ternus. Kate Bergeron, a hardware engineering executive responsible for Mac teams, is taking over the design of the Apple Watch.

Apple didn't respond to a request for comment on the changes.

The iPhone and Apple Watch are central to Apple's operations, accounting for well over half of the tech giant's $383.3 billion in revenue last year. Tan also was responsible for the design of accessories and oversaw the company's acoustics team, which handles much of the development of the AirPods. Those two groups are being relocated under Matthew Costello, who is in charge of Beats and the HomePod smart speaker.

People familiar with Apple's operations say the Tan departure is a blow, and that he made critical decisions about Apple's most important products. Beyond the iPhone, his work on the Watch and AirPods helped turn those devices into major growth drivers for the Cupertino, California-based company.

Under Apple's organizational structure, the product design team works closely with its industrial design and operations groups. Tan's team has tight control over product features, including the look of devices and how they're engineered.

John Ternus has reorganized the hardware engineering group, which he has overseen since 2021.

Tan is the second senior executive to announce departure plans recently. Bloomberg News reported earlier this week that Steve Hotelling - a vice president in charge of hardware technologies like Touch ID, Face ID and displays - is retiring. Hotelling reported to Johny Srouji, senior vice president of hardware technologies.

It's also at least the third exit in a year from Ternus' organization. Yannick Bertolus, who was once in charge of hardware product quality and later ran hardware product management, recently retired. His predecessor in the latter role, Laura Legros, left at the end of last year. 

Ternus, who took charge of hardware engineering in 2021, recently shuffled other parts of the organization. He elevated Dan West - formerly the No. 2 executive for hardware quality - to a new non-product role reporting to him. Other executives in charge of Mac product design and iPhone hardware systems were also promoted, suggesting that Apple could be preparing for more leadership changes in the coming year.

Federal Judge Says DeSantis Spread Misinformation To Get Anti Trans Restrictions

A federal judge who heard a lawsuit challenging Florida 's restrictions on gender-affirming care says Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis repeatedly spread false information to push through policies that would limit access to various transition-related treatments. U.S. Judge Robert Hinkle, of the Northern District of Florida, made the remarks during the final day of a trial, finding that Florida health authorities and DeSantis initially cast the state's law barring minors from accessing gender-affirming treatments as a necessary step to prevent children from being mutilated. But, Hinkle said, the law actually prevents transgender individuals from accessing any health care treatments that affirm their gender identity. The restrictions on gender-affirming care were first enacted in March after the Florida Board of Medicine and Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine approved rules to limit the accessibility of hormonal and surgical interventions. DeSantis subsequently signed a bill in May...
