Things are always a trade-off. There are big positives to keeping the ecosystem on a consistent, new and secure version of iOS. Similar positives apply to MacOS.
- samstave 6y agoThe problem I have with your argument, is you assume that my frustration is just over a single device from Apple. I have literally had every single apple product since the Apple ][e -- aside from their server systems. I have had every iPhone (even had pre-launch phones from them) since launch up until I stopped at the 6s+ which is the only phone I will ever own from them. I have a history with apple that is not shallow and I have had ~35 years of judgement against them. I recall getting into a talk with a fellow engineer at Lockheed where I said "Trust me, Apple will switch to intel procs - and this apple boi almost had a heart attack saying that would NEVER happen... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_transition_to_Intel_proce https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_transition_to_Intel_proce ssors Yeah that happened ~2 years before it actually occured... (I used to work for intel and have stories about trend prediction there as well...) So yeah, I'm solid in my position of what I know to have happened...
