Something feels off about yesterdays Apple – jony ive split report

Not sure where I’m going with this. But never the less I’m really confused about the why of yesterdays news. It’s seems disingenuous and petty that this would even leak. I think apple is better with some form of connection to Jony Ive. Yes I fully understand that egos and ideologies can get the best of anyone. But not when both sides have a long history of successes and mutual respect. The bond that was Steve Jobs connects Apple and Jony Ive way beyond any disagreement or hurt feelings. Plus I would think that if this report is actually true, both sides would have made a statement. Very strange.
