Apple Announced Scott Forstall's Departure 14 Years Ago Today
Fourteen years ago today, Apple announced that iOS chief Scott Forstall would leave the company the following year, serving as an advisor to Tim Cook in the interim. Reports at the time said Forstall refused to sign Apple's public apology for the poor coverage of Apple Maps, dismissing the problems as exaggerated, leaving Cook's name on the letter instead.
Forstall kept a low profile until 2015, when he resurfaced as a Broadway producer, winning a Tony for Fun Home. Elsewhere this month, Apple's Polishing Cloth turned five.
