I’d rather Apple continue returning excess cash flow to investors than to waste it on boondoggle regulatory requirements cooked up by people without a clue (Seriously? AirDrop alternatives? Who is asking for this?) which also have unintended consequences for other product development priorities.
- Gud 2y agoOk, I would rather they put the users first.
- shuckles 2y agoNone of their users asked for this! It’s a list of demands come up by a small group of appointed bureaucrats. I can’t think of a single regular person who pines for AirDrop protocol alternatives. The loudest advocates for these changes are companies who distribute on Apple’s platform and developers who don’t want to wite native apps.
- Gud 2y agoActually there are a lot of users asking for exactly this. That Apple are using their monopoly to further their position is a classic, illegal tactic and these bureaucrats should have come after them a long, long time ago.
- shuckles 2y ago> Actually there are a lot of users asking for exactly this. Can you point me to evidence that Apple users want AirDrop protocol alternatives?
- Gud 2y agoAbsolutely something I want. That Apple has removed the functionality to interoperate between different operating systems is ridiculous. It used to be easy to transfer files over Bluetooth. I’m talking functionality that was there 20 years ago. Apple are using their monopoly against users who don’t know any better.
