“we were connected in through um through apple had had multiple multiple discussions with us and and felt like they were trying to support us as part of their ecosystem little did we know that behind the scenes they were actually making a copy of what we were doing”

Be Careful When Platform Companies Start Asking Detailed Product Questions

Apple had multiple deep-dive discussions with Astropad about Luna Display then launched Sidecar at WWDC. Large platform companies are not malicious — their incentives simply do not align with yours. When a company many times your size asks how you built something, be thoughtful about what you share. This is not unique to Apple: any large company will copy a successful small product if incentives point that way.
