That’s not a great way to treat your best customer. Twitter makes 89% of their revenue from advertising, and in the first quarter of this year, Apple was their biggest advertiser. It would take a whole lot of blue check marks to equal the amount that Apple gives Twitter for advertising. Apple should just cut their Twitter ad budget by 30%.

Odio means hatred or “I hate” in Italian and Spanish. Do marketing people not Google these things?

Going to be quite the culture shock - Roblox is the company that has been exploiting developers for almost the entirety of its existence, whereas Apple...

Oh.

Maybe I’m missing your point, but has anybody done more for developers than Apple?

They helped to start the personal computer market, then pushed it forward by a huge leap by bringing PARC’s window/mouse GUI to market, making computing much more accessible to the masses. With the iPhone, they made the first sophisticated smartphones with a very intuitive user interface, way better and easier to use than anything that preceded it, creating a huge worldwide smartphone market, and created the App Store that gave developers easy access to every single iPhone user, without the need for hard copy manufacturing, inventory management and a distribution network. They even distribute it for you for free if you don’t charge cash for it. They have created new markets with the iPad and watch too, and they provide significant educational tools and developer support. Et cetera, et cetera. 

What I would like to see is a 50mm equivalent for the “main” camera, a ~135mm equivalent for the tele, and a 24 or 28mm equivalent for wide, all with top-quality sensors and stabilization. Those would all be really useful focal lengths.

Given that MagSafe aligns the charger, I would think that they could extend the titanium much further on the back if they wanted, just leaving a small glass part in the center. This would make the phone lighter and more durable, and could shave off a tiny bit of thickness, although they would probably just use that space to include a bigger battery and make the phone thicker anyway, as usual. But rounded edges, if well executed, can make the device seem thinner than it is.
