'''A change in culture'''
According to Eastman, Steve Jobs promised him in 2009 that he could, “always work for Apple .” '''''However, things changed after Jobs died. Eastman says that Apple culture under Tim Cook is very different. This included, “cronyism and a dedicated effort to ignore quality issues in current and future products.”'''''
Eastman was fired in September 2014 for alleged unprofessional and inappropriate communications. This was reportedly over an argument about a bug in the Disk Utility application in macOS.
Eastman is also suing Apple for unlawful termination. That lawsuit has been put on hold until the resolution of the current patent case.
If this is true that explains a lot in the failed QC and non-repairability in the current product offerings!
