I don't know if this is the right category on the forum to post.

In this topic I would like to see things mentioned that Apple could change. These could be small things, related to everything Apple has to do, as well as big things you'd like to see changed.

For example, some things that bother me:
  • Clean up their legacy apps. iTunes Movie Trailers is still available in the App Store for example but has not been updates since 2017. Trailers are integrated in the iTunes Store / Apple TV app.
  • There website is full of outdated pages (example 1 showing a very old iTunes, example 2 is talking about OS X 10.6.6) and there a more pages that talk about products / software that haven't been updated in years. I wish they could go through every page on their website and remove all old, legacy pages.
  • Renew iTunes for Windows. It's sucks (performance) to use Apple Music (I know there is a web version and all the following apps are included on macOS), iTunes Movies and listen to Podcasts.
  • Create a Apple Maps editor (for the web) just like Google Maps has in a web version. I've just checked 20 companies here in the neighborhood (the Netherlands) and from the 20 companies: 14 had wrong opening hours, 4 had missing information, 2 were up-to-date. Comparing it to Google Maps, everything seems up-to-date, updated with the right opening hours, website, telephone number etc. On Maps it's easy to find companies that need extra or new data.
  • The ability to set reminders on iCloud.com (this is possible) and set a time/date. In the previous iCloud.com design it was possible. Since the renewed interface I can't get it to work anymore (neither on Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Internet Explorer).
  • Update their iCloud for Windows App with a basic, simple version of the contacts app, calendar, notes and reminders. I know this stuff is all integrated on macOS but although I love Apple, I prefer to run Windows 10 on my laptop. (I even traded my MacBook 16 inch in for a Dell XPS).
What are you up against? What would you like to see improved?
 
well. i guess the images should reflect up to date info as well.. Having said that there may be some 'poor sod' out there that still runs 10.6.6 (hard to believe in this age), but this is the internet, where info lasts forever.

It's not just Apple.

Even better would be an Apple maps web based but Waze-like.. everyone reporting their own mapping corrections. (it seems Apple needs help here, so what better than than users do this as well)?
