So, about that press release Apple sent in June that SVP of Hardware Engineering Bob Mansfield would be retiring from the company this year? Uh, scratch that. He’s staying on at the company, Apple announced Monday afternoon.

In addition, Apple CEO Tim Cook has promoted two new executives to the top tier of Apple’s leadership team: Craig Federighi, who will be SVP of Mac Software Engineering and Dan Riccio, who will be SVP of Hardware Engineering.

Mansfield’s new title wasn’t given, but the company said in a press release that he will stay on at Apple to “work on future products” and he will still report to Cook.

More to come.
