Hey, you don't need to convince me that iOS has gone stale, I'm the guy who was pilloried on here for saying so over the summer. There is much irony in some of those same pilloriers now claiming of course Forstall had to go, because iOS wasn't moving forward.

But let me posit you this - what if Maps was, in fact, a Tim Cook special? As in a mandate from above imposed on the technical team over Forstall's objections?

What if this all turns out to have been an Ive "him or me" grab for the brass ring, with Cook acquiescing?

More than a couple of folks said Cook's reaction to the HW team's mutiny was worrisome because of the behavior it would likely engender - what if this incident is one of those behaviors?
