What a mess! If Tim Cook hadn’t idiotically fired Scott Forstall, Siri would be an industry leader.

Is this a joke?

No, it is not. And I don’t see why it should be.

He got fired because he refused to apologise for the Apple Maps disaster. And I'm old enough to remember that clusterf***.
„Forstall, who had been in charge of Maps, is said to have believed that the complaints over data quality were overblown — a belief so strong that he ultimately refused to sign the letter apologizing for the debacle (the letter released to the public ended up bearing CEO Tim Cook’s signature instead).“

Recommendation: rename from 'Siri' to 'Sora.' Rationale: Rebranding often boosts team morale and provides a fresh start.

Scott's approach would have prevented the decade-long constraint of Andy Ives' minimalism, which limited design flexibility and user engagement features.
