Oh common all the comments about ios 7

He's french , been working for 35 40 years and in his late 50's early 60's . Quite normal to retire then in europe .

And this is why Southern Europe's economy is in such trouble. In Scandinavia/Northern Europe retirement start at around 65 and pushing on 70 being the common nominator.
 
I'm impressed with the number of people who freely talk completely out of their ass on this thread.
 
There goes another one....... If this is the way Apples going with hiring people away from Google with no Mac/iOS expierence, then customers can sure see it...

Look at iOS6,,, now look at iOS7, and tell me it's not different. Stuff which was broke, and fixed in iOS6 are all bought back in iOS7 like the lock screen by-pass..

This is just going over old ground...

On the lighter side, every time a 'key' employee leaves, a piece of Apple dies.

Maybe one day we'll find out the real Apple is all outside of Apple?
I hope this one could find a way to build real desktop with swappable Gpus
and real Pro Laptops with discrete within,no more glue and unsoldered Ram
for the 2000 Apple is asking today,not to mention A7 64 bit with only 1 GIG of Ram.
 
lool. He's been there for 23 years and people think it's about lack of leather in iOS 7...

France is southern europe?

And northern western europe its between 58 (luxembourg) and 66 (sweden)
I gave the sire for effective ages couple of pages back.

Southern european countries all fall into this.

LOL You don't know what you're talking about. Normal retirement ages in Europe are between 65 and 67, 70 pending.

Actually you dont know what you are talking about, I gave efective ages in 2011 and those are between 58-66 for europe.

You do realise there is a difference between effective and nominal?

Yes, and in 20 years when all of their current 'key' employees are gone Apple will be completely dead. Oh wait, they'll hire new people throughout that time and the company will be fine.
 
The phrase is "gratuitous changes"

Just out of interest, how long have you been an iOS user? I have found that the people who hate iOS 7 tend to be the people who hadn't 'had enough' of iOS 6 yet…

I had an iPhone 1. I hate iOS7.

Most people retire at 60+... in fact, in most countries you have to be around 63-65 to get your full retirement pension.

Not France. Its back to 60 with Hollande. Makes you feel good about Hartz Vier Reform now doesn't it.

Or, you know, the guy didn't want to work the rest of his life and wanted to actually enjoy the money he earned while at Apple.

He isn't going to read your comment, and no one cares that you hate it and won't upgrade, just saying.
Click to expand...

You cared enough to respond. I care and agree with him. You're comment is a train-wreck from the get-go.

You really hate something that you haven't tried yet? Or have you tried it and downgraded right away? Either way, you're missing out.

There is a third alternative, he tried it and hates it... Can you argue with that?

How can one hate a product, having never used it, never getting to know it. Sounds a bit luddite to me.

That's because you're too shortsighted to understand that one can view, try and experience the upgrade without updating his own device.
 
Wonder if Henri worked for Lou Rollins

I'm remembering Lou Rollins from Seattle who has an engineering mgr at Apple who passed on at age 49 twenty years ago, somehow I'm connecting Henri to him. Lou's passing was a huge lose to the field of computer science and particularly OO programming.
 
Well, I hope he enjoys his retirement, I'm happy in the knowledge he is partly to blame for my sale of my iPhone 5, and my purchase of a Nexus 5. Because I just cannot stand iOS7 anymore, my personal favorite is how when I plug it into charge, it politely tells me 'CHARGED', yeah I guess the old 'CHARGING' word would be too much of the same old :rolleyes:, it's the worst mobile OS ever!

It's actually funny looking at my Nexus 5 at it's screen size and power, and knowing if it had a certain fruit logo on the back it's price would be at least doubled but most likely tripled.

But I do give the guy huge kudos for the implementation of iOS as it 'was' a great mobile OS.
