He could have just walked away from Apple, spent some quality time with his family, recharged his batteries and then started the new company with a clear timeline between the two businesses. Many, many others have done just this over the years while working at Tech Companies all over the place.

You have to ask the question, 'did he take legal advice about the timing of his departure from Apple and the creation of the new company?'
IMHO both parties are partieally to blame but he is more in the wrong than Apple. He could have disconnected from Apple himself cleanly but didn't. There has to be a reason why this is the case?
