iOS will go downhill from here

How about we wait and see?

 

i understand threads about current issues, but i don't get all these 'apple is doomed', 'it's over' threads.

stop wining about what may happen...when there's plenty to discuss in the present)...

 

Another "unnecessary" thread (sigh)

 

Right because SL had no glitches at all. And just because some of the features added in OSX don't suit you, doesn't mean they aren't good for others. I particularly love mission control, launchpad, and the other "iOS features". So no, the days of iOS aren't behind us. The world isn't ending.

 

I like Mountain Lion and the general direction OSX is going. Sure it isn't as fast or efficient as the Snow Leopard days but it is improving.

 

If ML is an indication then I'm very confident for where things are going.

 

Launchpad? Really? You like... launchpad?

I thought such people didn't exist...

 

I'm fine with OSX and iOS as a whole..

I can't see this happening.

 

My main problem with Launchpad is that you can't remove any apps you want -- only App Store apps.

I actually would find it useful IF I could choose to put only the apps I wanted in it. It would be more like an extension of the Dock without having to clutter the Dock.

 

Federighi might be in charge of iOS (core technologies) but Ive is in charge of Human Interfaces across the board.

I'm confident.

 

You haven't, but MacRumors is full of posts from others proclaiming the doom of every [insert any Apple product of service here].

When Apple switched the processors from PPC to Intel, that was the doom of them (or the point where things start going downhill).

When iOS only supported web apps, that was the doom of them (or the point where things start going downhill).

When Apple switched from .Mac to MobileMe to iCloud, that was the doom of them (or the point where things start going downhill).

When iOS first got the AppStore, but Apple took a 30% cut, that was the doom of them (or the point where things start going downhill).

10 seconds after Steve Jobs died, that was the doom of them (or the point where things start going downhill).

And please don't pretend that every OS released by Bertrand Serlet had no issues/bugs, because it would take less than 10 minutes of using the search engine here to find posts from people that had way more issues with Panther, Tiger and Leopard than you did with any OS release after he left.

 

I actually prefer ML over SL. It's just as stable, and Safari is 1000 times faster.

All the iOS stuff people whinge about... you don't actually have to use any of it.

 

What's not to like? It's like your Applications folder only easier to access. Plus, you can reorganize it however you want without worrying about messing up software updates.

If you don't want to use it, it's completely out of the way.

I just stick apps that I don't use on the far right page. Never see them again.

My main complaint is that you can only move one app or folder at a time. But that's just a one-time problem.

 

Awesome to Scott Forstall on MacRumors creating threads!!!

 

Seeing how restricted ios is, it can only go uphill from here.

 

Thanks for your insight, Mr Fortune Teller.

Any other possible theories you'll like to add?

 

Apple will remove the "i" from every device and replace with "a". Just because it makes more sense.

 

Mountain Lion is pretty awesome to me sooooo I guess I look forward to what the next iOS will bring?

 

Oh so aPhone, apod Touch, aPad?

Sounds creepy. Maybe it's because not used to it.

 

What do you mean "downhill from here". It was downhill from iOS 5 to iOS 6. iOS really does need a new feel to it, at least for me. I don't know how others feel about it

 

you have to eventually move with the times and accept that things won't always be like the "good old days"... yea features get added and features get removed, but you don't want to end up like those people who say "I hate how facebook keep changing things - it was way better the old way." I challenge all those people to go find a picture of facebook from 4 years ago and make sure they're still sure of that statement...

I think with technology people always have a fond memory of the first major step change they encountered and how wonderful it was that no further change can really live up to how amazing it seemed. The iPhone 4 was kinda like that for me. The 3G was cool, but I had always wanted Apple to make a phone with squarer sides - the iPhone 4 was perfect (in my eyes) it was exactly what I would have made had I had the chance. Now I have a 5, the 5 is a great technological improvement over the 4, but for me it will never live up to how I FELT about the 4. So although it's a massive improvement (again in my eyes) the 4 is always what has that fond memory..

I guess it's the same with anything really...

So yea, sometimes its important to recognise that, and that progress is ok - it doesn't invalidate your fond memories of what is now an out of date item...

anyway - enough rubbish from me

 

yeah,

a phone
a pad
a mac
a OS

a= apple
a is the first letter in the alphabet meaning Apple is #1

hahaha

 

You know, neither of them wrote all the code themselves.

It's unfair to say Craig Federighi personally introduced any of those bugs and to label anything he works on because of it.
