  • Jony Ive's exit from Apple caused by company culture changes and growing frustration

    alba63alba63
    Jony Ive was or is obviously a gifted designer, however the Apple obsession of making devices thinner and more pure and minimalistic with every iteration was not helpful. I remember the designers' dream, the "Cube": It was beautiful (for the time) but unpractical. Good design is important, but superior functionality is what matters even more.
    To say that Cook is just an accountant is - in my opinion - just arrogance. Apple has been releasing maybe less groundbreaking devices than between the first iPod and the iPad, but much of what they launch becomes a success: biggest watch maker in the world, biggest headphone maker, Airpods (sth I found quite bizarre in the first place) are in my ears all the time now. And while I am not a computer specialist, I consider the M1 processor a real game- changer. The MacBook Pro 14/ 16" with M1pro & max have changed the way we think of Laptops. Those are all breakthough products that win over loads of PC users of the past. I consider Tim Apple to be a true benefit for the company.

  • EU antitrust bill could force Apple to make sweeping changes to Siri, App Store & More

    I'd rather want the EU to force Apple to make their batteries easily replaceable and more of their components user- upgradeable, like SSDs. Desposable electronics are not in line with their pretended environmental standards and should no longer be allowed. Many of them end up in landfills which is a total shame.
