Phil Schiller: Apple’s Chief Advocate for the App Store

Despite receiving criticism from various sources, such as the press, developers, government officials, and competitors, Phil Schiller remains a strong advocate for maintaining the integrity of the App Store and is resistant to any potential changes. While his status as an Apple Fellow since 2020 may have suggested an eventual retirement from the company after a successful career, Schiller continues to dedicate a substantial amount of his time to the development of Apple’s software platform. According to those who know him well, Schiller’s main hobbies include cars, sports, and his unwavering commitment to Apple and its products.

According to reports, Apple CEO Tim Cook often delegates certain matters concerning the App Store to Schiller, who is known to be its strongest advocate. In fact, Schiller played a crucial role in persuading Steve Jobs to include third-party apps on the iPhone and establish the App Store in 2008. As he remains in charge, Schiller maintains his belief that human review is a crucial aspect of the App Store.

Despite criticism from former reviews head Phillip Shoemaker, who believes that improvements will not occur if he remains in charge, Schiller’s leadership has played a significant role in the platform’s contribution to Apple’s annual revenue.
