Apple is the empire? 😉Incidentally, I was watching ‘Foundation’ - very good btw - I couldn’t help but think it was an analogy about Apple.
My guess is that this point, it’s a conscious decision by Apple not to include too many features in their stock apps. This avoids over complicating the app and over serving users.
Many users don’t need or care for smart speed, because their typical use case involves having a podcast show up, and them listening to it. At regular speed. That’s really all they want in an app.
What I see Apple likes to do is to bake in just enough functionality in their core apps to serve about 80% of their user base, and if they desire more, that’s where third party apps like overcast and Castro come in.

Fellow viewers will be able to easily guess what I mean (no spoilers here).
I wish they'd rather let us remove the preinstalled crap.
I’d guess this is nothing apple wanted to do but all about trying to look better for the incoming antitrust cases. Why don’t you let users review your apps apple? You’re not treating all apps equally.
I also worry if some of those reviews start being taken too seriously, comply and start bloating every single app…Those 1-star reviews on the Podcasts app seem a little unfair to me.
Yes, the UI could use some improvement. I particularly don't like how deeply it buries some commonly used (by me) features, like "recently played".
But, compared to the BBC's awful "BBC Sounds" app, which seems to go out of its way to make it hard for you to find content you're looking for (or even any good new relevant content), the Apple Podcasts app is a discovery dream!
Not to me. I never had an issue with the Podcast app (on ios13?) Everything just worked as expected.Those 1-star reviews on the Podcasts app seem a little unfair to me.

Idk why they can't update their apps separately from the OS. If they can be downloaded from App Store, can't they be updated that way? Seems like an easier solution than installing a whole iOS update every time messages or photos needs a fix.
I'm sure they're aware regardless of app ratings in the App Store.Finally something users can pour their frustration and anger towards apple to, and it would be public.
Hope this will tear Apple’s “WE ARE THE BEST” tinfoil hat a little bit and face the reality.
10 - 15 years. In time for the bushed metal and Corinthian leather UI revival.When do you think the first of Steve Jobs' perfect genetic clones will be mature enough to take over the job of running the Empire?
