Apple said to be stealing tech from expensive suppliers to give to cheaper ones
AppleInsider should be embarrassed about giving this article the title that they did.
Nowhere in the article does it support the notion of "stealing" if the signed contract says that Apple at least co-owns the tech.That means a firm can invest in developing a production technique, and Apple is entirely within its rights to take that process to another firm. The accusation is both that Apple does this, and that it does so by giving information from US companies to suppliers in China.
Ethical? No, but if Apple was paying the supplier while that supplier developed the process or technique, then one can say that Apple does own it, and the contract supports that.
As a software engineer, I experience this all the time with clients. They can't see the grey areas between their product and my technology solutions developed in-house.

Apple bids farewell to Frank Casanova after pivotal 36-year tenure

seems more like a “hey buddy, thanks for everything, but it’s time” kind of convo had taken place.I wonder if this is the guy who pushed past Srouji and everyone who knew it wasn’t ready for prime time and got Tim on board. Bet Tim regrets it internally. He’ll never state that publicly, but he’s got to be wishing he had a do-over.
@StrangeDays gave an excellent response. Don't believe the media anti-hype. Apple deliberately released this device into the wild when they did for a very strategic reason. WWDC coming soon, followed by the Fall updates. The best is yet to come.

When the Vision platform is a rounding success, will you admit that you were wrong? Genuine question.
Apple knows that the Vision project is going to take time to mature. It's foolish to think they'd have a smash hit on the very first release with such complex and ground-breaking technology. Way beyond music players and cell phones.
