AGREED 100%. They forget the people who are MAKING the apps for all of these nice mobile devices they are selling hundreds of millions of.
What happened to Apple being for those who want to create things.
- millstone 10y agoErr, no they didn't? See the developer-friendly App Store changes, the Siri and Maps public APIs, etc.
- awesomerobot 10y agoWhile you're right, 15-20 years ago Apple was actually building hardware for creative professionals as well. A lot of people felt betrayed by the consumer shift because the creative industry was all that really kept Apple afloat for a while until the iPod came about. None of the single-port glossy nonsense.
- anko 10y agoHow dare apple decide to make products that appeal to a mass market. I remember how they used to fill my niche and now they fill everyone else's except mine and it's not fair. they don't even target creative professionals anymore; why don't they bring out a pro version of their tablet that is more accurate, powerful and fun to use than a wacom.
- awesomerobot 10y agoI think there's no question that it's been a successful strategy. A lot of people just don't like change.
