Actual title of the article: "Apple went rotten after Steve Jobs’ death, former engineer claims"

So the same thing everyone already claims?

I think kerng's comment was motivated by the HN guidelines:

In regards to your reply: Really? Everyone? The linked article provides little of value IMO. The claims are generally in line with what you'd expect from someone suing their former employer, and the publication doesn't seem to have done anything to investigate the claims.

I admit I did exaggerate, but when Steve Jobs died, there were crowds of people claiming that Apple’s innovation was gone

Yah people have been claiming that pretty persistently since basically the moment he died. It's a pretty common trope, though also pretty worthless since it's impossible to project the decision making of jobs onto our reality.

    > linkbait

That was the reason I took liberties with the title.
