They were negotiating a licence but their star engineer emailed Tim Cook offering to work for Apple directly after he wasn't made CTO of a spinoff company. > He clashed with managers, demanded multimillion-dollar budgets and wanted the ability to hire his own engineers without approval, Hotelling said in a deposition that was part of a court fight between the companies. After weeks of discussions, Lamego left Apple. After his stint at Apple, Lamego ended up starting his own company, True Wearables. In 2016, he released a device called the Oxxiom, which he called the world’s first continuous and disposable blood-oxygen sensor. Masimo sued the start-up and won a court order blocking it from selling the product. https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/the-late-night-email-to-tim-cook-that-set-the-apple-watch-saga-in-motion-20231228-p5eu0i.html https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/the-late-night-ema...
