WSJ chats to some companies Apple has liberated features from

This is a kind old-ish article from April 2023, but it lays out the various ways Apple loves ripping off its partners and developers. Featured in the WSJ story is Masimo, who built blood-oxygen measurement devices that Apple was interested in working with, but then ended up adding something very similar to the Apple Watch. There's Blix, who claim Apple stole their "technique for anonymising email addresses during online service sign-ups". There's Tile and AirTags. There's AliveCor and the ECG feature in the Apple Watch. Sure, it's easy to argue that Apple simply did what these companies did, but better, but it really puts the brakes on true innovation when if you come up with something awesome and want to share it with a company like Apple who can bring it to the masses and they just fuck you over and copy it.
