That's a very uncharitable way to phrase that. It's not like Apple was lying or doing this on purpose. It was clearly a bug, a bug that was not wide known for 3+ years. It's not as if it was some open secret that everyone was taking advantage of. I'm not saying no one knew or that no one took advantage of it but I'd imagine the average consumer was complete unaffected by this bug.
- skygazer 3y agoI agree with you that it was probably unintentional, and an embarrassing failure, though not malicious. I mostly like Apple products and am tolerant of their business model and practices. But I was struck by your phrasing to wonder whether we really owe charitable interpretations to companies. I do think most people employed anywhere are probably well intentioned, and maybe we owe them something. But companies are almost algorithms that run on a substrate of people.
