So stupid. What are they going to remove next? Food Network app because they feature recipes for high calorie foods? Car apps because cars are bad for the environment and can cause accidents/deaths? Stupid.

I don’t get this whole thinness at all costs argument. Wasn’t the previous MBP roughly the same thickness as other laptops?

4) Jobs totally missed the importance of the App Store and 3rd party apps, which came later, and really had much to do with the success of the device. 5) Job's insistence that a stylus and keyboard were unnecessary have since been reversed, so which is it? Is Apple on the wrong track today, or did Jobs get it wrong in the beginning?

4) The App Store was launched in 2008. The iPad was launched in 2010. 5) The iPad supported both keyboards and stylus use when originally launched.

Right and when the iPad launched a lot of apps were just blown up iPhone apps. There is no question the way Apple is positioning the iPad now is different than the way Jobs positioned it in 2010. What breathed new life into iPad was the iPad Pro, Apple Pencil and software changes to allow greater capabilities.

The TV app is a cluster—k.  But I only use it to watch TV+ shows. If I want to watch something on HBO or Showtime I just use their apps. 

Apple software teams really need to get their shit together. Marco Arment tweeted today about the horrible memory management within iOS 13 and how aggressively background processes are being killed. I’ve noticed this for a while now. I’ll be in YouTube, switch to mail or messages,  come back to YouTube 30 seconds later and the app refreshes and I lose the video I was watching. Safari tabs too are constantly refreshing. Reminds me of the original iPad Air with 1GB RAM. I never had issues like this with iOS 12. But it makes using my iOS devices much less enjoyable.
