    Gotta pay 'em to keep 'em. Competitors are hungry for top talent. 

    As Steve pointed out:  "A Players" don't chase money.  They chase challenges and an environment that supports their ability to create great things.  As with America's great industrialists:  the money was just a way of keeping score.

    Apple just poured a LOT of resources into a CPU for the low-profit Mac where it will take years if not decades to recover their investment while the product matures and incorporates itself fully into Apple's ecosystem.   So, most likely Apple is wisely pulling back from that high cost push -- and the A Players are headed out to where the action is.
    Or this guy is NOT an "A Player" and is thus a money chaser....

    There are a million reasons why a person joins or leaves any company... unless publicly stated, it's silly to draw conclusions...

    ...As for the apple watch well square watch faces are for kids watches. Since apple cares so much about having all these fancy color options now then they could at least release a round version for people who find square watches repulsive... 
    Why don't you ruminate a bit more on the differences between a dynamic information-rich interface devices, vs analog read-only?

    How many round computer screens or round TV screens do you have in your home?

    How well do round digital watch displays present data-rich, multi-page navigable GUI's  vs square/rectangular?

    I am unaware of kids wearing Baume and Mercier, Hermes, Patek Phillippe, Cartier, Bell & Ross or other square faced analog watches either.

    But wait - most Swatches are round!

    If I'm sitting in a restaurant and some jerk at the next tables disables the AirTag on my keyring, I'm gonna be really upset.

    Is there going to be a way to determine whether some idiot has disabled my AirTag without pulling out the Find My app?
    I'm pretty sure if your AirTag is with you and your iOS device(s), it doesn't broadcast as a rogue tag for others to be notified.
