Hedware

Somehow everybody gets asked except for consumers. As a owner of Apple products,  I do not want my privacy and security compromised because some lazy developers want to have open skies. They should attempt to build some decent apps.

These app developers are right. As a game developer who created over 20 games on the app store (often tied to theatrical releases) I can only applaud these developers protesting. It's time this gets addressed. Apple's become a shit company with good hardware.

Another whinging developer. Set up your own phone company and App Store. Game developers do not add anything much to the benefit of the world. Get a proper job.

Apple seems to becoming very ham fisted in managing its staff..

How’s this for an nonsensical statement “ There's certainly a case to be made for Apple to add a new 27-inch iMac to its lineup, but it wouldn't have met the need of many users that the Mac Studio caters to.”

Ok there’s some (no evidence for many) that want something like the Mac Studio and its component style. But the history of strong sales of the integrated 27” iMac makes a strong case for a demand for a M1 27” iMac and probably a higher demand than for Mac Studio. The business market was a strong buyer of 27” iMacs for its appearance and easy upkeep and no cables. Apple writers seem to be ignorant of business when they make statements such as the foregoing one. 

I use iCloud email as it is ISP independent. The downside is that my emails can be treated as spam by some recipients. Apple is unhelpful in remedying this issue. 

Over the years Apple has never really got cloud storage. 

I use the Apple Pen (2nd gen) reasonably often. But there is no way that I can write neatly because there is no friction between the pen and the surface of the iPad

The theory I learned when I studied marketing as part of a computer course at college…

With all due respect, there might be more of an issue with the quality of your computer course “marketing theory” than with Apple’s marketing.

I have arrived at the same conclusion. 

Power button underneath? It’s a wonder that Apple didn’t also put the power cord underneath as well. After all that is how to charge the stupid Apple mouse. Function is as important as design and Apple’s fixation on smallness makes for indifferent user experience. 

Who uses Reminders? Haven’t bothered for years.
