Apple has added another high-profile hire to its roster of top tech talent by bringing on the co-founder and former CEO of Dropcam, Greg Duffy.Dropcam grew in popularity thanks to its cheap home cameras that connected to Wi-Fi, allowing owners to check in on their houses remotely. The company was purchased by Google in 2014, with former Apple employee and Nest co-founder Tony Fadell put in charge of the team.After Dropcam got scooped up by Google, Duffy said he was convinced to sell because he admired Fadell as a product pioneer. The relationship didnt last, though: Duffy departed Google in 2015 and once famously called Fadell a tyrant bureaucrat after he left the company.Now Duffy will be working for Apple, where Fadell made a name for himself as the godfather of the iPod before assisting in the creation of the iPhone. Fadell recently announced that hes leaving Googles parent company, Alphabet.
