root escalation with no password should NEVER happen. That's not just any bug.
I doubt you're a software developer. If you think this is ok, your code would be horrendous.
because we all miss the reliability of iOS on first days. I do love Craig a lot because he's bringing new design and new interesting features every year, but the fact that iOS is becoming more buggy every year is making me sick.
Wasn’t there a version of OS X in the past where you could basically use an overflow bug to log into accounts without a password?
Because then I need a cable and a power source. With the current implementation, I can charge my pencil anywhere I am, so long as I have my iPad with me (and I should, if I need to use the pencil). No need for lightning cables or power banks. Just plug in the pencil into the iPad for a few minutes and I am good to go. As far as integrated solutions go, you don't get any more streamlined than this.
And can continued to be made on emoji machines. People can still code on a MacBook Pro or iMac or even the upcoming iMac pro.
Good lord no. Unless you think he can single-handedly run both divisions by himself, because him returning is going to result in a mass defection of epic proportions.
If you think Apple is bad now, I daresay Apple under Scott will be even worse, because whatever talents he brings to the table will be more than offset by the acrimony and friction his presence will result in.
Dude. Do you even know what skeumorphism we're talking about? alright, if you considered frosted glass as skeumorphic, less skeumorphism is still way better than pre-iOS 7. Forstall's and Steve Jobs' UI design nowadays really looks outdated and gimmicky.

Bring back this guy (AKA mini-Steve Jobs)..
Story about the birth of the iPhone
Oh wait, emo Jony hates that guy.

Scott was incredibly close to Steve, according to Andy Miller, who was in charge of Apple’s iAd project before leaving the company this summer. “When he says stuff, people listen,” Miller said. And in many ways, Scott was just like him, too.
He’s a hard-driving manager who obsesses over every detail. He has Jobs’s knack for translating technical, feature-set jargon into plain English. He’s known to have a taste for the Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG, in silver, the same car Jobs drove, and even has a signature on-stage costume: black shoes, jeans, and a black zippered sweater.
Forstall is like Steve in one other important way: He can be, in what some of his co-workers might call an understatement, a polarizing figure. He’s won the intense loyalty and allegiance of many of his underlings, and his engineers are among the hardest workers at the company. At the same time, according to several former Apple employees, a number of high-ranking executives have left the company because they found working with Forstall so difficult.
Scott’s only 42, which makes him the youngest member of the executive team, but he certainly isn’t pushed around. In fact, he has a “fraught relationship” with a number of other executives, including Apple’s lead designer, Jony Ive, and Mac hardware chief Bob Mansfield. The pair reportedly avoid meetings with Scott unless Tim Cook is present.
Forstall’s most recent triumphs are likely bittersweet. Over the last few years he watched as his biggest champion and mentor slowly lost an agonizing personal battle, all while products running his software have helped make Apple the most valuable company in the world. Apple has sold more than a quarter billion devices running Forstall’s iOS.

Apple needs deliberation. The birth of iPhone was a battle from two teams.
^ Love that TFF song.
Steve and Scott do share another thing in common. They both got fired at Apple. I hope Scott returns to rescue them but that's just a pipedream for the father of iOS.

Rescues them from what? Don’t say buggy software, because there was plenty of that even with Forstall around.

Jony without Steve is like Robin without Batman. Pippen without Jordan. Bronn without a Lannister brother to bodyguard.

Jonathan "Jony" Ive, Apple's design maestro, was regularly frustrated with his good friend, and boss, Steve Jobs taking all the credit for Apple product's design.
"I pay maniacal attention to where an idea comes from, and I even keep notebooks filled with my ideas," he said. "So it hurts when he takes credit for one of my designs."

“You know Jony. He’s kind of a cherub,” Jobs told one of the authors of Becoming Steve Jobs, during an earlier magazine interview. “I liked him right away. And I could tell after that first meeting that [former Apple CEO Gil Amelio] had wasted his talent.”
Jony hasn't been the same without Steve. Tim has wasted Jony's talent the last six years. Nobody to push him and guide him. Tim isn't a visionary and Jony isn't a natural leader.

Agreed. And I believe that jobs had a lot to do with push Ives , it was a great combo
