Apple Sues Ex-Architect of iPhone Microprocessors for Breach of Contract

Apple is suing Gerard Williams, its former chief architect of iPhone and iPad microprocessors, for breach of contract on the grounds that he started his own chip-design company while still working at Apple. Williams officially left Apple in February 2019 to launch Nuvia, a chip designer for data centers. In November, Nuvia said it had accumulated $53 million in funding.
