And those subscribers aren’t coming back either - they are finished… I wish Apple would just give me back iTunes the way it was… People are getting sick of the subscription based services. They want to have ownership of the products they buy… if they don’t upgrade, then they don’t have the latest feature, but at least they still have what they have paid for to date… I avoid subscription based services and products and will even settle for a inferior product if that product is a one time cost pricing model. Look at how that greed has killed Adobe… people can’t get away from those products fast enough now… and they are. But thats what Wall Street influenced companies do and have happen to them… deservingly so.  

Just dropped Apple Music and won’t come back, it try’s to insert itself into just listening to music, and all the over services are the same, I just want to listen to and organize
a music (playlist) and get on with it but none of the current programs allow that anymore. 

Streaming is for the birds also, not for me. Who knew DVD’s and CD’s weren’t bad gives you flexibility to adjust without interference from big companies, in your face with Ad’s and begging for money.

This is why so much of American manufacturing has moved outside the USA.  All those seemingly positive changes that arguably do benefit the employee is what leads to people having a harder time finding jobs in the US.  Somebody complains, changes are made, laws altered, then it gets too expensive to manufacture in the USA, then the company moves manufacturing overseas and those jobs are gone.  

Who pays me to drive to work?
Who pays me to drive home from work?

Sorry, but we all use a lot of personal time that is unpaid when it comes to our job.  A bag check is nothing in the greater scheme of things.  And it seems to have been implemented because of morons who get hired at Apple yet then feel entitled to take what is not theirs.

The more benefits you give people, the more they will want.  Human beings are never satisfied.  I think Apple has struck a good balance to date considering just how difficult the human brain is to handle.  It's really amazing they are still based in California with all the left-leaning laws and verdicts handed down.

Each device could have tailored the UI to its own needs. But that would have been hard. Instead now we have iPhone OS, iPad OS, Watch OS, Mac OS and soon Glass OS. Such a missed opportunity.

Actually, except for MacOS, the other OSs: TVOS, WatchOS, and iPadOS were developed based in the original iOS. In other words, they are all essentially iOS tailored for their respective devices, except without the bloat of code that would be irrelevant for the other devices but with the extra code that would enhance the use of those different form-factors.

Not at all a missed opportunity.
