They have never had this many customers to piss off. A billion active iOS devices is pretty serious.

- scarface74 8y agoYou mean like when they removed the headphone jack? What are those pissed off iOS users going to do? Switch to Android and still have to buy new cables? Edit: The exclamation point was a typo. I didn’t mean to have the tone that might imply.
- threeseed 8y ago> What are those pissed off iOS users going to do? Firstly, the number of those users is from Apple's perspective anyway insignificant. The fact that they stopped shipping the Lightning->3.5mm dongle indicates this. Secondly, there are many workarounds. Including buying the dongle, switching to headphones with Lighting connectors or using Bluetooth.
- hrktb 8y agoIt seems with their current customer base, there is so much variety in what people want that they have more leeway to ignore what any specific group cares about. I’d guess for instance the number of people pissed off by a change of cable could be balanced by the people happy to use USB-C. The balance between the two is unknowable beforehand, so I’d imagine Apple managers just not care that much as long as a move makes some sense.
