Yep, they fired the executive iOS developer because he refused to sign a public apology. Apple has really gotten into politics bigtime (ie Tim Cook) and it makes the company look like it's run by a bunch of 12yr olds. The direction of this company has gone nowhere but downhill, so to see them chit can Scott Forstall doesn't surprise me in the least.....
I've always been a big fan of Forstall. Sucks to see him gone after 15 years. I had really really hoped he'd take over as CEO after Steve Jobs, but instead the job was given to Tim Cook (which was a horrible decision IMO). To say the least, I've been rather annoyed with Apple once Steve Jobs got ill to the point of not being able to run the company anymore. Since the late release of the 4S, Apple has made me sick. I can't stand Tim Cook and I feel they'll never be what they once were.
Scott Forstall was never in support of Tim Cook and he also felt the late release of the 4S was an outrage and a major let down for Apple fans. Honestly I think with his decision to not sign the apology (which Tim Cook wanted him to do) he either knew he was going to get fired, or didn't care that he could be fired. As much as it sucks he's gone, it's good to see guys like him get away from there. He's better off for sure.....
