I’ve seen some financial discussions about the large pile of cash that Apple is sitting on and what could be done with it. I would like to propose they publicly announce they will be putting a large effort into fixes and tweaks to all levels of their software, from iOS to especially the support documentation for developers.
On iOS, enough with this “it’s not a regression” leaving bugs that have existed for 3+ Major releases, while contracting featureitis.
Tim Cook has made it clear the future of Apple is services sales / subscription IAP, and they could really solidify their dominance by streamlining the ease of entry for developers, such as how convoluted App Store Connect is. I’ll give a perfect example: ASC on Safari doesn’t auto-fill 2FA code from iMessages, that works seemingly everywhere else.
- spoonjim 5y agoFixing bugs is always good but can we at least acknowledge that iOS is one of the least buggy pieces of consumer software of its complexity?

I believe if it is $200B we're talking about, you have small dreams. IMHO, Apple should first simply pay their damn taxes, and then promptly purchase North Dakota, a steal at $110B.
