According to this article, Scott refusing to sign the apology is the reason he was fired. How is that irrelevant?

  Apple Inc. executive Scott Forstall was asked to leave the company after he refused to sign his name to a letter apologizing for shortcomings in Apple's new mapping service, according to people familiar with the matter. That's their justification. I'm still skeptical. No offense, but an apology not signed by Cook isn't an Apple apology. Tim was gonna' sign it no matter what I believe.

    My gut says that it would have been signed by both.

      I'm guessing it wasn't a literal "signing", but rather he refused to put his name on it, probably because he disagreed with it in principle. It would have been signed by Tim Cook on behalf of everyone at Apple, but my guess is that Forstall wasn't on board, regardless of whether his name appeared on the public announcement or not.
