"No specific details beyond industry chatter were shared by the report regarding the shift to ARM"

Blah blah blah... rumor mill business as usual. Wake me when there're actual facts to report... Till then, my standard reply: this will be a monster of software developer complaints, feet dragging, and cost to consumers, but that's not to say it wont happen, as it has happened before...

I am glad I did not buy this "quality" product from Apple. There is always a bug or problem with anything new from Apple. For the amount of money customers pay for this "phone" it should work with no problems. This proves that Apple's quality control is non existent. Tim is this what you mean that the iPhone's cost was "value priced for the technology it provides"? Apple should make sure the phone part works, instead of AR or the great camera, which makes this product nothing more than an expensive broken toy. This is a great disappointment.  

Life isn’t perfect. Apple could get there product quality to 99.99% and still some would experience a problem. 

I'd love to see 99.99%. Hell, I'd love to see 90% correct functionality. 80% functionality isn't acceptable and the number is dropping every release.

delayed features are disappointing, sure, but it’s probably a sign that annual updates to iOS as a platform is getting too ambitious. complexity in the platform is increasing.

The "sign" has *been* here. Writ large, with flashing lights, color vomit, blaring sirens...

I'm happily watching as everyone else deals with the unfinished software... I have enough trouble with Apple's "final product" anymore; forget messing with betas. I used to enjoy exploring new tech stuff but it's just tiresome anymore.

Good. AMP was the last straw for me with Google. I stopped using Google search for anything but images (most notably reverse image search). I use DuckDuckGo now. Its image search is functional but inferior. Google's search was already pissing me off by how it makes too many presumptions and ignores quotes, etc.

AMP was a completely enraging experience. AMP pages don't scroll like normal Safari pages, reader doesn't work on them, links don't work right in them, and they hid the original URL. The updated version that shows the original URL in a header bar is half broken most of the time. Complete garbage. I'm not going to consume the internet while filtered through a crippling pile of garbage like AMP. 

Screw Google. They're just another freakishly huge and overbearing corporate monster that thinks it knows what's best for humanity. Their whole business model is to make product out of their users. I wish I wasn't so invested in their gmail service. I should move my saved messages to a local archive. The day Google rids themselves of Gmail, a LOT of internet users will be screwed.
