Tony Fadell, the father of the iPod, is one of the legends of Silicon Valley. Even though he left Apple in 2008, he is still quite active in the technology circle, and his recent trend exposure has once again dropped a shocking bomb.
Tony Fadell joined Apple in 2001 and was behind many of Apple's important products at the time, such as the iPod, but he fell out of the public eye in 2008 and decided to resign from Apple.
He left to create his own company, Nest Lab, which was later acquired by Google.

In fact, Tony Fadell has also played an important role in the relationship between Apple and ARM in the past. The earliest use of ARM chips in iPod and iPhone is from his strong promotion.
It is not clear what Tony Fadell's real work at ARM is, and the outside world believes that it should deepen the cooperation between Apple and ARM.
As for why Tony Fadell chose to leave Apple that year?
He finally let go after many years. Apart from family factors, he was not compatible with Jony Ive, who was known as Apple's legendary designer. He complained in front of Jobs that Jobs always stood by Jony Ive and became overwhelmed. The last straw.
