My upgrade was a total disaster. I sent my complaint to Tim Cook (obviously not expecting an answer) and two days later the executive support team called me to provide support. By then I re-installed ALL computers and mobile devices, reset my HomePod and more. It was so much work, and the error messages were so cryptic that it didn't provide any clues to where to look. But we had to fix it fast because we have over 70 smart devices in our house (sounds like a lot, but with smart lights, cameras, etc this number is met quickly).
Apple made a mistake providing this update the way they did. The roll-out was messy. 

This ‘president’ is a disaster to the world. He has no real strategy, economists are baffled by his idiotic actions and constant flip-flopping.

So, the same version of the same app isn't a problem on earlier iPhones or iOS versions.

But it's somehow that app's fault?

Nope.  This is on Apple.

Wrong. And delusional. 

You’re the one that’s “delusional”.

Apple designs and builds the SoC, the thermal system, the outer casing, the operating system, the APIs, and is the gatekeeper for every application that runs on an iPhone – and yet the company still blames third party developers?

How is it even possible that any of these applications can cause unexpected overheating in the first place, and how, if the App Store review process is put in place to protect users, did nobody at Apple catch this during the review process?

No, this is on Apple and not a third-party developer.

Clearly you’re not an engineer, it shows.

Actually, I am! I have released over 70 games in my games company that I founded in 2003. My company got acquired in 2019 by a VR enterprise learning company, in which I act as board member and innovation leader, where I am responsible for leading the longer term technical and product roadmap in collaboration with the respective stakeholders. 

It's very depressing to see the US political landscape. 8 years ago I was angry. Now I'm mostly depressed.

This is sure to bring out the trolls, claiming they will never buy another iPad.

But at this point, who needs the audio jack anyway? You have legacy earbuds? Get new ones. Get Bluetooth ones. Or buy a cheapo adapter. You say the audio quality is too low over Bluetooth? Well, you should be using a high end stereo system, that has both the 35mm and 1/4" audio jacks, not an iPad.

You probably don't have kids. I'm not giving them wireless phones that they lose because they are so small and expensive. You want to buy rugged, wired headphones that require no Bluetooth setup. 

I sense a bit of an ‘anti-Margrethe‘ sentiment in the article. Juvenile, “she’s finally gone” sentiment. 

She did all the things that needed to happen and I’m confident many of her actions will at some point become normal in the US as well. 

This is not enough. Apple has proven in several occasions their “privacy-first mantra” is just marketing, when you look at China, Russia and other countries.
This system can be abused locally to search or collect data. I want Apple to at the very least state they will never ever do it, and if they do, are fine with the world-wide legal implications/liability.  

Secondly, it’s MY device that I paid good money for and Apple allows me ZERO options to replace Photos with another app. It’s not that I can seamlessly switch and my camera and file browsing defaults to this new app - another topic but still relevant here.

Ofcourse nobody wants child porn, but Apple is not the police nor did I choose to have my photos scanned.

Screw this company and their hypocritical culture. I’m so much invested in their hardware and software but they are simply not the company anymore that I used to respect. 

Of course we all know this is BS. The real reason is that Tim Cook wants us to climb the spec ladder. A memory upgrade is probably a better choice versus upgrading cores or even moving from a Pro to Max.

Forcing Apple to allow 3rd party stores was always one of the dumbest ideas that the EU had. Mobile apps were already far cheaper on average than any other computing platform and the price difference between Android (open!) and iOS (closed!) were virtually non-existent. Those facts alone seriously undermine the idea that the App Store model was abusive. The reality is that app developers wanted to release apps on iOS because the iPhone proved to be very popular with consumers and had a large user base. Contrast this with another piece of Apple hardware that is also closed and also has a single App Store: Apple Vision Pro. Apple obviously doesn't have the power to force app developers to support the platform. Developers are looking at the relatively small install base for the first year product and choosing to "wait and see" before committing $ and development time.

It is not just about app pricing and the apps being the same on both platforms.

It’s about two companies that are essentially in control over the entire industry and their App Store model representing the entire app market.
That is dangerous especially when mobile phones are essentially a commodity with apps created by governments and organizations alike. 

A smart move by Apple to a ridiculous request, made up by folks with no understanding of encryption.
