Well that's not true because Eddy Cue fired Williamson [1]. Maps might have been the straw that broke the camel's back, but Forstall was fired also because he couldn't work well with Bob Mansfield (who came back out of retirement after he was gone [2]) and Jony Ive.

- madeofpalk 9y agoLet’s be honest here - none of us actually know what went on.
- happertiger 9y agoSomeone here knows. Let’s be honest here. ;)
