Gerard Williams, the chip mastermind behind Apple's A-series chips, left Apple in 2019 to start a new chip company called Nuvia. Apple sued him for betrayal, claiming he planned Nuvia while still at Apple. However, due to California's law banning non-compete clauses, Williams was able to outplay Apple and build a $1.4 billion empire when Qualcomm bought Nuvia in 2021. Apple quietly dropped the case in 2023.
