Just last week on January 28th Vogue Business ran a huge feature on Angela Ahrendts with an exclusive interview and photo shoot, and now this? Seems like weird timing with how "work in progress" Vogue characterized her work at Apple with the tone of the piece. https://www.voguebusiness.com/companies/angela-ahrendts-appl...

"After turning round the fortunes of Burberry, Angela Ahrendts is five years into reimagining Apple’s bricks-and-mortar presence. Vogue Business meets the tech behemoth's senior vice president of retail on the steps of its soon-to-be-unveiled Washington, DC, flagship"

Depends on whether Apple PR organized that profile of her or whether she did herself. If she was planning on leaving she'd want to go out with her accomplishments highlighted.

I don't think there's any way a magazine would profile a senior Apple exec without Apple PR being deeply involved.

I'm sure there is, but they'd be asked to leave Apple shortly after.

She's ex fashion biz and worked at super high profile brand of course she can get an interview in Vogue.

Might well help vogue later on

I'd imagine the interview was organised by Apple PR, but the decision to fire her was being discussed & made shortly after (because Apple PR wouldn't know of or be involved in a decision that big regardless).

Or quite simply deciding she wasn't good in her current role doesn't mean Apple want to burn her career to the ground. This sort of PR piece could easily have been a helping hand to find her her next job.
