Very weak examples.
Monster and Beats ended their partnership in 2012, and Apple didn't acquire Beats till 2014.
Airport had a long run, and even when discontinued, Apple offered to service Airport products for five years.
Yes, Ping got the axe, and my heart goes out to both of Ping's active users.
- DannyBee 7y ago"Monster and Beats ended their partnership in 2012, and Apple didn't acquire Beats till 2014. " Oh well, did you remove everything on the list that Google shut down post-acquisition? No? Okay then. "Yes, Ping got the axe, and my heart goes out to both of Ping's active users." Would you change your tune if you discovered the canceled google products had less users than Ping? Google isn't cancelling majority-user products either. If the whole point is not to hurt the minority, you are just showing you aren't willing to apply the same standards. This whole comment feels that way - a strong inability to apply the same standards to two companies.
- freyr 7y agoAgain, the Monster partnership ended pre-acquisition. I’m not criticizing Google or defending Apple. I’m just saying, your examples weren’t very convincing. If that’s the worst of Apple’s product cancellations (including one claim which wasn’t even true), that’s way better than average.
