- threeseed 14y agoHow do you think Apple makes its products ? Magic ? They have to communicate and partner with lots of suppliers from small to large around the world. They also have content partnerships with Twitter, Yahoo, Facebook, Tom Tom, Yelp etc. And the there is the huge array of media partnerships in the iTunes Store. Seems like a LOT of partnerships actually.
- venomsnake 14y agoApple don't communicate and partner. They give orders and expect obedience. The only partnership I can think of is the iBooks one. And it went to court.
- rdl 14y agoThey're quite partnerific with their hardware vendors (in Asia, essentially).
- rdl 14y agoApple used to run an awesome developer program; it's dropped off a lot in the past decade. All the stuff which "forums" do now, used to be directly done by Apple. It's amazing; it used to be as good as MSDN if not better. They could dominate this today, especially since it's mostly standard open source with only a little bit of Apple extra. There is no reason for Apple not to have awesome web development resources for Apple enhanced platforms (like how Microsoft does with .Net/.Asp/etc.) at the level of what it does with Objective-C. And, since Objective-C is essentially only an Apple thing, Apple should be out in the lead in education making Objective-C a super-approachable language, like Google does with Go.
