Cue's official title is now "Senior Vice President of Services," as opposed to SVP of Internet Software and Services. Additionally, Cue's description on the page has been updated to focus more on newer services like Apple TV+ and Apple Music while getting rid of older software like iTunes.
The small tweak to the Apple leadership webpage was first spotted by 9to5Mac. Cue's new job description focuses on the company's services.
Apple's services have become an integral part of the company's overall business model, with some analysts believing it could eventually become Apple's primary growth driver.
During its last earnings call, Apple reported that its services segment broke quarterly records with revenue of $17.5 billion, representing 33% year-over-year growth. However, Apple executives characterized that growth as an anomaly. While they expect strong results going forward, they believe it'll be at a more average rate.

Lol. Ok, Eddie. So, no one is allowed to point out the hugely squandered lead in voice assistants, or the bumbled maps roll out, or the bumbled foray into casual gaming on the Apple TV, or the incredibly slow homekit roll out, or all the problems the mail app had for years, or the fact that the social capabilities of apple's most social app (music) are almost nonexistant, or that Phil had to take over the app store, or squandering apple's lead in podcasts with incredibly slow feature rollout (they're even called podcasts!), or the fact that the photos app couldn't search for text in images until 2021.. on and on..? That's good to know. I won't bring that stuff up then.
