Yes, I generally share your theses. But I still sin when I use Google as a search engine and data dealer. Don't you?

iOS 18 Updates Continue to Cause Delays in Apple's iOS 19 Plans

Here's a thought. How about not doing 19 until 18 is refined. Or you can just skip 18 all together and stop using a number system. Are people really itching for the new IOS software already? IOS 18 sounds like it was a dud.
I don't think the pace will be that slow. Adoption will though but the tech I believe is going to be there in less than 10 years.
I have twitter/x domain-blocked on my home network. No.
Well for one, I don’t use AI and have no interest in it, from openSI, Apple or anyone else. Secondly, I want nothing to do with a Musk owned property. Thirdly, I have never used twitter or x; such social media is of zero interest to me, so no thank you.
I only use social media to follow and interact with people I personally know.
I think Frederighi is getting holding back by Timmy. But I agree with you that Apple badly needs a good visionair leading the ship in the right direction. It’s getting behind on all fronts, hard and software.
It’s not only Apple who has to work in this environment. Every tech company has to apply on those same rules. Too bad Apple is using those rules as an excuse to not release new software. Competitors are happy to take over everything thing Apple neglects. It’s apples loss and for the ones being kept prisoner in Apples protected ecosystem.
I was once involved in a product where we lengthened the release cycle from 1 year to 18 months. Marketing just upped the number of features they wanted in the next release. We also tried a major/minor two year cycle and it was amazing how much pressure was brought to but major features in the minor release.
Every tech company? You mean the big US tech companies? I’m sure apple is happy to let go of the scraps and give them to the competition. It allows them to cut their losses.
The market will respond and apple will head towards the way of blackberry, then. Until such a time your opinion is probably incorrect.
Every tech company from all over the world. Maybe you should read the rules to truly understand what it means.
I’ve read the rules. What tech company was affected more than apple? IMO, supporters of the dma have a big blind spot.
Lots of Chinese companies too even as some European. It’s about leveling the playing field in a fair way to give everyone a change to compete instead of big corporations pushing others out even if they have better offerings.
Name names. Which companies were affected in the smartphone space that hadn’t give up as much as apple. Playing Robin Hood by the eu is not leveling the playing field. It’s giving someone’s hard work for free to another. That’s the blind spot the dma supporters have.
The ones that don’t obey the rules. It certainly is Apple, google, Microsoft. Chinese companies not so much in the mobile phone space because they rely on googles Android.
When you visit another country they probably have different rules than the country you’re living in. When you don’t respect does rules you better not visit or have the chance to get fined or sent to prison.
Same for companies doing business in other countries. Obey the rules or risk the chance to get fined/banned.
Same for European companies doing business in the USA.
Same everywhere!
Google was barely affected. Chinese companies gatekeepers? Which ones?
That’s a general commentary not relevant to this discussion.
Again, people and companies have to obey rules as bad as they can be sometimes..
Says nothing other than some idealism.
But if you look at the thread it’s about speculation of iOS development causing some ripple effect to iOS 19 - which the eu will probably get a watered down version.
I still remember the days when the new version of iOS was presented in one day and released two weeks later with new features and no bugs.
Apple just need to bring Scott back!
Apple just need to bring Scott back!
There were also a lot less features in iOS back in the day. You really can't go back to that, and honestly, there were bugs in those days, too. I think you're just having the nostalgia effect.
But we’ve had staggered updates, loads of bugs, and poorly implemented and barely worthwhile features. I’ve been very disappointed with iOS 18.
iOS 18 was one of the biggest updates in the life of iOS. It’s only 6+ months to WWDC. And yeah, imo, people are itching for new software. That’s the human condition.
