While it's hard to pin that on Ahrendts, Cook himself said the company's iPhone battery replacement program, a decline in carrier subsidies and a stronger U.S dollar were the main culprits. The fact that she's leaving at this particular time is notable. Apple says Ahrendts is leaving for "new personal and professional pursuits."
Interestingly, Vogue Businessran a big profile of Ahrendts just last week, which mostly focused on Apple, with nary a hint of Ahrendts departure in sight.
Despite Apple saying Ahrendts is leaving in April, the company already changed O'Brien's executive bio on its webpage, as noted by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Ahrendts is still listed as Senior VP of Retail, though.

Officially, Apple had only the best to say about Ahrendts. “She has been a positive, transformative force, both for Apple’s stores and the communities they serve," Cook said in a statement.
