Nest CEO Tony Fadell left Apple back in 2008, but after heading the iPod division he knows what it's like to work with recently-ousted iOS boss Scott Forstall — and it doesn't sound like he had the best experience. Forstall was widely known to have been an abrasive presence in the workplace, and while Fadell didn't go into details, he made it clear that he believes Forstall "got what he deserved." Apple never provided details on Forstall's departure, but Fadell's comments line up with what we've heard ourselves. Of course, Fadell has personal grievances with Forstall himself — it was Forstall whose vision for the iPhone was ultimately selected, with Fadell pushing for a design based on iPod technology.
