- dawg- 7y agoExactly, it's a failure for now, but apple now owns the intellectual property to that forever. If anybody ever finds a better way to use it, they own it and can jump on the opportunity. That's why when you are a company like apple with mountains of cash, you can feel good about investing money developing fancy aspirational things, even if they don't pan out immediately.

- wombat-man 7y agoYeah, I liked it and used it when possible. Especially on the app screen where I could dive right into a specific in-app action. It's what nudged me into getting a 6s instead of another Android phone.
