People on Hacker News are too easily impressed with the performance and the shininess of a new architecture, looking over the severe issues of Apple locking down it's platform and allowing less control over the device by the user. What good is a fast machine with long battery if I can't do what I want on it?
- leadingthenet 6y agoBecause the vast majority of people will be able to do exactly what they want on it.

- leadingthenet 6y agoYeah, that’s true also. Have you not noticed that essentially everyone is pro-censorship nowadays? As long as it’s their preferred brand of censorship, of course.
- tonyedgecombe 6y agoWorrying about the system becoming locked down is a fringe concern. You might be passionate about it but the majority don't care.
