After Getting Pushed Out Of Apple, Here's What Former iOS Leader Scott Forstall Has Been Up To

One of the biggest mysteries in technology is what has happened to Scott Forstall.

Forstall was the co-inventor of the iPhone's ground breaking operating system. He led iOS from its creation until the end of 2012 when he was abruptly forced out of the company.

He went from being in charge of the most important product at the world's most valuable company to disappearing over night.

Since getting pushed out of Apple, he hasn't said a word publicly, and there's been no word on what he's been up to.

Until today.

Amir Efrati at new technology site The Information is reporting that Forstall spent the year traveling to Italy and South Africa. He also advised a few startups, and became more philanthropically involved, focusing on education, poverty, and human rights.

As for what's next, Efrati doesn't have any news, but he says VC firms like Kleiner Perkins and Andreessen Horowitz have stayed in touch, but Apple employees think Forstall's next move will be starting his own company.
