Scott Forstall, the iOS boss who was forced out of the company after the switch to Apple Maps caused the world to point and laugh at Apple, got what he deserved. That’s according to Tony Fadell, the man given most credit for creating Apple’s legendary iPod.
Speaking to the BBC about his latest venture, Fadell gave his interviewer a brief potted history of the iPod and the struggles faced in bringing it to market, before offering his opinion on his battles with Forstall and the disappearance of his in-house rival from the company (at around the 1:50 mark).
“Scott got what he deserved and we move on” was Fadell’s abrupt way of answering questions about his relationship with Forstall, adding that “People were cheering in Cupertino” when news broke of Forstall’s removal from the company. So we can safely assume they were never lunchtime drinking buddies. [BBC via MacRumors]

Ouch, harsh.
Thats extremely harsh. How can someone be soo hated yet be still in that position
Ask every premiership footballer.
Bitch. I’m glad I didn’t go to his ‘Jobs is dead’ party.
I don’t think that many people at Cupertino or Apple Maps users think Forstall “got what he deserved”. After all, there was a complete lack of tar and feathers,boiling oil or rusty knives to his neathers about his departure.
The man how created the iPod?
The man who created iOS
The design chief how created most of Apple products.
All these names are lies, as we now Jobs created everything himself, why do you guys try to make it out like Jobs just took the glory for others people work?
No matter what Forstall’s personality is like, he did good with iOS.
I agree, and It’s certainly good that it was a scaled down OS X instead of a scaled up iPod software. I think it had reached a glass ceiling of sorts with Forstall though and it’ll be interesting to have a new face at the helm and, hopefully, a fresh round of ideas and refinements.
