Apple may have just told Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta, we are no less in hiring, as iPhone maker hires Facebook’s ‘most important executive’ during company’s fight with the US government

Apple has secured a major win in the tech talent war, poaching Meta’s chief legal officer, Jennifer Newstead, who recently led the company to a landmark antitrust victory. Newstead will join Apple in January, taking over as general counsel in 2026. This move comes as Apple faces its own regulatory challenges and follows recent executive departures from the iPhone maker.
