He was promoted to Senior Director in January 2003. He became Senior VP of iOS Software in 2007. In 2012, negative reception to unfinished features in iOS 6 led Apple CEO Tim Cook to demand that Forstall sign an open apology letter for the shortcomings. When Forstall reportedly refused to do so, he was fired and Cook signed and released the letter himself.
