People don't complain as much when Apple does stuff like this.
- ori_b 3y agoThat's a shame; people should complain more in general. Especially if it comes with action.
- onionisafruit 3y agoI guess they don’t because I’ve never heard of Apple doing user testing that shits certain users out like this.
- benatkin 3y agoIn a sense releasing things like they have is testing. It just doesn't seem like tests because they haven't had to pull anything back. They should have had to though. If people heeded Stallman's warnings, nobody would have continued to support Apple after they launched the iPhone without third party apps (other phones had them) or when they launched third party apps with no sideloading. The world would be much better for it.
- marcosdumay 3y agoApple customers don't complain a lot. When you keep selecting people for an specific behavior, you get a population biased towards that behavior. If you suddenly decide you want something else, then you have a problem.
- politelemon 3y ago> Apple customers don't complain a lot. about Apple. About everyone else though, there are no limits. Observational anecdata from rApple and HN.
- TheBigSalad 3y agoApple people are a weird cult to me. I think Apple is happy to have a subset of customers willing to pay exorbitant prices, and fine with a large chunk of people (like me) who won't buy any of their products.
- wmeredith 3y agoWhat have they done like this?
- ragazzina 3y agoRemoving 3D Touch was arguably worse than this.
- chongli 3y agoIf Apple one day said they were pulling the plug on macOS and force-installed Windows on everyone’s computer, people would complain! That’s the level of user-hostile disruption we’re dealing with here.
- benatkin 3y agoThat reminds me of the butterfly keyboard. Many were in the habit of buying macs with working keyboards and they took the working keyboard from us in order to get a thinner keyboard.
- chongli 3y agoMore evidence that Apple is not immune to criticism and that people complain loudly and even leave the platform over annoying issues!
- machinawhite 3y agoWhere can I buy a Reddit r/Phone? How is that even a comparison?
- nortonham 3y agowhat reddit is currently doing is worse than any recent apple mistakes I can think of.
