Oh it's certainly in Apple's interest. I don't really care about their interest though. They have a large enough megaphone to take care of their own issues. I prefer to support the other side in such matters.
>Otherwise devs would just rely on compatibility and people would get used to the idea that iPhone X is the one where apps don't really work that well. Almost nobody would question whether that's dev's or apple's fault.
Microsoft spends their own money to make sure apps work with a newer version of Windows. I'd say that is the right choice given the enormous disparity in resources.
- scarface74 9y agoJohn Siracusa said something years ago that’s often repeated. Apple’s priorities are Apple first, customers second, developers third. I’ve read on the official Microsoft blogs how many special case hacks are in Windows just to maintain compatibility with one app. Can you imagine how horrible that code base must be? I am a developer and have been one professionally for 20+ years. I have a hard time for feeling bad for developers who have to actually do their job and keep up with technological changes.
