  • It’s rather interesting here that the board, consisting of a fairly strong scientific presence, and not so much a commercial one, is getting such hate.

    People are quick to jump on for profit companies that do everything in their power to earn a buck. Well, here you have a company that fires their CEO for going too much in the direction of earning money.

    Yet every one is all up in arms over it. We can’t have the cake and eat it folks.

    Fair enough. Guess we just have different views when it comes to that then.

    For me “it just works” is much more about the OS. Sending files between my Apple devices in high quality within seconds without internet, browsers and files syncing, having my Airpods switch from phone to Apple TV with the press of a button/automatically, face-id not failing 50% of the time, the watch works when I speak to it and does what I want it to.

    These are by no means crazy and things, but I struggle daily at work with my none Apple headset, the windows computer, my android phone. It just “does not work” smoothly. And they all sync horribly with each other for some reason. Files are not easily shared I often end up having to email myself, my headset that cost $400 lives it own life, features are automatically turned on again and again by themselves, for some reason. I have to restart my Microsoft IDE at least 10 times a day. Stuff like that.

    You do not get all the features, that’s for sure. But you get less friction. I think that’s what most are getting at with it just works. Less friction.

    That it just works does not mean I’m bound to Apple apps only. It just works includes having fantastic third party apps that do the job when Apples are lacking.

    Calendar, mail, maps, music, password manager and the likes are such for me. But it still “just works”.

    Missing features at OS level is one thing. But missing features in a goddamn app, when there are alternatives? Common…

    I mean their events are literally held to give news about updates. Revolutionary or not.

    Why would they not mention stuff people could make use of, just because it’s not some amazing new things.

    Events are rather decent to be honest, no that I look at them. But people do, so it’s very easy to get an overview over upcoming features.


  • You obviously do not live in a cold country. iPhones up until version 5-6 or so (when this was introduced) was notorious for turning off at 25-30% battery if it was slightly cold outside (sub 5 degree Celsius or so). It was a horrible experience that was completely removed by clocking down processors of battery worn phones.

    I’ve never heard of a person turning off the option now when we’ve got the choice either.

    It’s 100% beneficial to the customer.

    Though, they should’ve been clearer with what they did and added a toggle from the start. Which is why they were fined.
