Forstall’s first big unguided product delivery was Maps. He royally screwed the pooch with the release. By all accounts, he was fairly toxic in the executive group, he had to go.

In the last quarter, that equates to $9.48B, which by anyone’s standards is a pretty good business. The company I work for arguably makes more “important” products, but we’d be incredibly happy with that revenue!

Build cost != cost to manufacture. They, nor anyone else, are not marking "their garbage up by anywhere from ~150% to 200% and distribute. of the actual build price." That is simply not how manufacturing works. Every step of the s

Depend on where you are. In my experience, Google's times are way too optimistic and the route finding in London is shit.

Can we have another, unbiased source please. That one is state-sponsored and doesn't provide a credible source.

Jobs had nothing to do with Be. He founded NeXT. Gil Amelio was the Apple CEO when they were working on acquiring BE Inc., which was founded by Jean-Louis Gassée—another former Apple executive. Ironically perhaps, it was reportedly Gassée a

The USB-C spec wasn't finalised until the following year and only fully standardised in 2016. The USC-C port, which Apple contributed to considerably first appeared in 2015. Micro USB, which superseded Mini USB, was and remains to be

Well blame the consortium members that rejected it over Micro USB!

It was only a decade ago that lighting became available. Micro USB was the alternative. And it was shite. Still is.

Removing ports is ironic as, other than headphone jacks from phones, USB type A being dropped from MacBooks (iMacs and Minis have always had USB Type A) in favour of USB-C is the port HN loves to moan about, and here we are, arguing for U

That has more to do with boundary defence than the OS itself, and those are more-often-than-not closed. The majority of infrastructure that you are alluding to is also heavily locked-down.

Where is "here"? Wouldn't you say that any party making those sorts of judgements (iPhone users are sheep/Android users are poor) aren't worth listening to? Isn't that more of a reflection of "here's&
