The moves hand over substantially more responsibility to Cue

The moves hand over substantially more responsibility to Cue, the head  of Internet Software and Services who helped create the iTunes music  store and App Store. The 23-year Apple veteran already is in charge of  Cloud services and will take on Apple Maps and Siri. Apple said a search is underway for a new retail chief to replace John  Browett and that the retail team would report directly to Cook. Browett  had riled up the retail store staff when he decided to reduce the number of retail employees. Browett took over as head of Apple's retail stores earlier this year,  replacing Ron Johnson, who went on to become the CEO of JC Penney. Last week Apple delivered a second straight quarter of disappointing  financial results, and iPad sales fell short of Wall Street's targets,  marring its record of consistently blowing past investors' expectations.
