apples services are top tier and have been around (and honed) for ages now. their model is easy, refined and extremely consumer-friendly.

what software does apple sell? besides osx server, some management tools (like their remote desktop), and their pro creation suite (final cut, logic, motion, etc)?

they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

Software & other includes applecare sales last time I checked, and when I did check the margin on those applecare packages was 92%. So yeah that's a lot of loving money from unnecessary applecare.

I was using iOS 10 on my 6S but upgraded a couple days ago to 11, is it just because I have an older phone but this thing seems like a giant piece of poo poo???

the autocorrect feels worse and autocorrecting way too soon and wrong words, touch typing seems worse in general. everything has giant big font INBOX everywhere. also my Mail keeps being stuck showing Sending 1 of 1 which it didn’t do before and there’s nothing being sent

also keeps bugging me about Apple Pay and iCloud poo poo which I keep telling to turn off, also tried to turn on that two factor thing that it wa bugging me about and keeps saying failed when I filled it out lmao

gently caress this is really bad

autocorrect is loving terrible now

yeah what the gently caress? i wish ther was a button that ws like "do NOT correct correctly spelled words"

because its insane that it changes correctly spelled words, and not only that, but often once you have just finishd the next word

lmao yeah leave it to the music industry to finally find a way to actually make money off of music and then totally gently caress it up by creating their own bespoke streaming platform that nobody will ever use

movie companies have already started doing this. for years people said that give us a convinient way to watch movies and pay for it and we'll stop using bittorrent. then netflix happened. then movie companies are like "wait, why are we letting netflix have all this money when we could make our own streaming service", not they're all making their own also-ran services and expect people to subscribe to all of them apparently, at :10bux: per month for each.

i wonder if they think having four-five different streaming services be more convenient than just torrenting all content.

it would be pretty interesting if apple, reaching for ways to invest some of the cash they have just become able to bring back to the us, decides that what they'll do is invest in echis life. a bold gamble, but one apple certainly can afford.

not sure why they ever took the verge off their review shitlist. gruber is not nearly as influential as he thinks he is. only hardcore Mac spergs read his stuff. that’s not the market Apple is targeting here.
