Apple's Phil Schiller Works 80 Hours a Week Overseeing App Store (www.macrumors.com)

Though Schiller transitioned from marketing chief to "Apple Fellow" in 2020 to take a step back from Apple and spend more time on personal projects and friends, he is reportedly working close to 80 hours a week.

Schiller is known for responding to emails almost immediately, and answering phone calls at all hours. He testified during the Epic v. Apple lawsuit to ardently defend the ‌App Store‌, and he is involved in Apple's EU messaging as well. Schiller joined in on Apple PR calls with members of the media when the iOS 17.4 changes were announced, and he spent time explaining how the DMA will impact user privacy and security in Europe.

Allegedly Tim Cook does the same thing. Can't imagine what he'd be doing 16h a day, but I've heard he's almost always at Apple Park
