Except they fucked up the experience for those of us who wanted a desktop OS without stupid distractions and not a phone on our desktop. Apple is not building

Apple is not building your idea of a perfect experience. They're building what Jonathan Ive, Tim Cook and (formerly) Steve Jobs think is a perfect experience. They do not care what you think, and they don't want you mucking with it even after you've bought the hardware and the software.
I don't like this philosophy myself and haven't bought an Apple product in years because of it. I really wish I'd bought some Apple stock though.
- 13rules 15y agoTotally disagree. They are building what MOST people really DO want. Apple got it right a long time ago when they realized that people just want to get their email, browse the web, and view/manage their photos, videos, and music. Period. That's all most people want to do. The Hacker News population does not represent "most people". Still, under the hood there is plenty that you can customize and change if you are a programmer / power-user / etc.
