An obsession over quality would have Apple open the door to better audio services like Spotify to integrate with the phone's audio database for instance. Or have Kindle like apps let their user have the better purchasing experience. Or better browsers to have deeper system integration. Better messaging platforms interoperate with iMessage. A 3.5mm jack to have the best latency and highest potential audio quality. The list goes on and on.
Apple values quality, but not above everything else. This is obvious and totally normal for a company, it's just weird it bears repeating so much.
- zmmmmm 3y agoYeah it's a great point. In some ways here we are seeing the exact illustration of that point. If they only cared about user experience and quality they wouldn't sacrifice their user's interests by forcing them through convoluted processes to buy content outside their own store. That's far from a high quality experience. So they value quality highly but it's a distant second to their own desire for control. They still present a very thin veil of pretending this is in their user's interests, but they are barely trying any more.
