Career[edit]
Schiller has over 24 years of experience in product marketing and management, including seventeen[1] years at Apple in various capacities.

Schiller frequently participated in a supporting role in keynote presentations given by Steve Jobs, usually presenting new products, like the iPhone and the iPad. During Steve Jobs's medical leave of absence, he presented numerous keynote presentations himself (with supporting segments by other Apple staff), including Apple's last appearance at IDG's Macworld trade show on January 6, 2009 and the WWDC keynote on June 8, 2009. Both presentations, held in San Francisco, were typically presented by Jobs himself. Among the things announced at these events were the updated MacBook Pro lines, the iPhone 3GS, new versions of the iLife and iWork suites as well as pricing and DRM changes to the iTunes Store. As of today, Schiller is the main person to host the events.
On January 19, 2012 he gave the keynote at the Apple Special event, introducing iBooks 2 and iTunes U for iOS devices.
On June 11, 2012, he introduced the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display, at the Moscone Center, in San Francisco. This event was also the opening day of WWDC 2012, Apple's annual conference for software and application developers.
On March 13, 2013, Phil spoke to Reuters about how poor the Android experience is.
