It's probably a bold assumption that you wouldn't be able to continue using it, Apple likely realizes that this would screw people who bought the device specifically for that purpose; should just be as simple as changing a sub expiry date to a thousand years from now if the shit does hit the fan.
Furthermore, if it shares the same codebase as the macOS version, why would it cease development now that they share a common architecture? If anything, that would likely mean Apple had gone tits-up.
- mejutoco 3y agoIt is the simplest assumption, based on similar promises from software vendors, like life-subscription prices.
- hammyhavoc 3y agoI don't think Apple is comparable to any other corp, they're in a unique position of making the only hardware that officially runs the software they make and they also make industry leading software. I'm not even an Apple user. I'm just calling it as I see it.
- mejutoco 3y agoAll corporations have things in common, at the very least legally, and more. Nvidia, for example, meets the requirements too. Why you would trust a company not to increase prices because they make their own hardware I am not sure. I remember a bus company undercut by a new train service. The train was very affordable until the private bus service disappeared. Then, the price gouging started. If we can compare that service with a SaaS I don‘t see why apple would be any different.
