Is it conceivable that Apple are deliberately ignoring this issue as it does exactly what they would want?
It punishes people who move away from their platform with social isolation.
It's easy for them to overlook this issue and not put any effort into fixing it, because the investment would result in a better experience for everyone who switching away from Apple.
- Bud 12y agoNo. This is not conceivable. In fact, Apple has never taken a single documented action which would be at all similar to this. If one thinks about it for just a moment, one can see the hilarity of even suspecting this. Apple has very consistently provided the best overall experience and service in the industry over the last 15 years. They have done this regardless of whether you are using one of their products (PC users who use iTunes) or their entire ecosystem of products. It strains credulity to think that Apple would attempt to punish a customer who is moving away from a given iPhone (perhaps even to a new iPhone!). That customer could very well still use several other Apple products for years or even decades in the future. You expect us to believe that Apple would antagonize that customer in a grade-school fashion, out of spite? It's just nonsense to even think this.
