This is a different side of the apple I wasn't aware of. Tech companies copy successful products on the market but Apple seems to go way beyond. We need startups and Google thriving on consumer front. https://archive.is/oypLr When Apple Comes Calling, ‘It’s the Kiss of Death’ https://www.wsj.com/articles/apple-watch-patents-5b52cda0
Tldr?
Apple promises partnerships to companies with successful products like tile, wearable tech like ECG, heart beat monitor etc. They get them to share their tech or reverse engineer their tech by poaching employees and create equivalent product or service. Finally that startup gets butt fkd. Patent courts in USA is big tech friendly. Lot of appeals and startups neither have money nor time to fight them. This is all from the article, not mine.
Thanks
Microsoft might not be a good company as well. A wrong doesn't make other wrong right. FWIW MSFT pays shit ton of money to acquire. Apple's largest acquisition was $3bn todate. MSFT paid 25bn odd for LinkedIn and if Activision deal gets done then it's 65bn. Google paid $12bn back in 2012
Name an example where Microsoft stole tech in this way? This actually is old news about Apple. This story is just shining light on their practice once again.
You have no idea how bad Apple is to their suppliers, vendors. They don’t follow any rules, they violate patents, kill competition through unfair practices. They sue startups to drain them of limited cash and to stop attrition. Despite all this, they maintain a saint like image.

Apple is toxic. I hate how they just bought darksky, an existing app on both Android and Apple, and then killed the Android app. That type of acquisition should be examined as antitrust.
No one's surprised.
Apple is a taker; they don't give back. Any small company which has Apple interested should be extra careful on what they share and ensure their lawyers are present.
Lol @ thinking Google or Microsoft are better…
financial service company, hahahhahahahahahha
