- smoldesu 3y agoSince when did stock value correlate with customer satisfaction?
- dylan604 3y agoSince when did Apple make decisions on consumer satisfaction?

- astrange 3y agoThat is not their job, and they'll be happy to tell you it isn't, and they won't get fired for that. Their job is to do whatever they want insofar as the board doesn't replace them.
- mikestew 3y agoYou mean like how AAPL drops nearly every time they have some kind of announcement? Yeah, I don't know if that's a good indicator of customer frustration.

- alpaca128 3y ago3.5mm jacks are still the standard for all wired headphones and will probably outlive both Bluetooth and iPhones. Also the Macbooks still have it while the M1 didn't have magsafe, so maybe let's not use Apple's decisions as indication of obsolescence.
