Even in a thread like this, where one would think there is nothing to criticize, we get pathetic trolls like WarrenBuffduckh,  Spice-Boy, and scrutinizer789. 

Yep. I can see everyone selling their iPhones and iPads and replacing them with this as soon as it releases. 

Yep. 

This thing will be DoA and a massive failure. At best a curiosity and an extreme niche product. IMO its the worst of all worlds. Not pocketable enough or useable with 1 hand, and not large enough for any kind of real productivity or creative work. 

Tough to go back to anything else after using Apple Maps with Carplay. It's the cleanest, smoothest, and sounds the best. 

I switched to exclusively Apple maps while in the car a long time ago, just because of how trash Google Maps is with Carplay. Glad they finally improved it, but way too damn late for me. Fact that they were ok providing such a shitty experience, for so long, doesn't sit well.

I agree with this article.  I usually defend Apple's actions, but not this time.  This is anti-consumer.

Like banning Flash?

Exactly. People forget the massive outcry over that, and at the end of the day Apple stuck to its guns and was better off for it. As well as the entire industry. But at the time they hardly got support from anyone. They were decried by blogs, developers, and consumers. 

Point is Apple shouldn't automatically give in due to public outcry. This outcry is often short-sighted and ignorant of the many facets of the decision, especially for the long term.
