Yes, because Apple’s such a bad bad company... its the technology equivalent of ISIS, It’s become one of the most valuable companies on the planet and kept itself out of debt by being pure and codified evil. (rolling eyes)
Look, whether you like it or not, Apple certainly knows its business better than you, or anyone else that doesn’t work for them.
Apple obsoleted a 5 year old product, if that’s a problem for you, don’t buy Apple... but I suspect that is already the case for you, and you just get your jolly’s trying to bash them because, well I don’t know? Your dog ran away? Girlfriend left you?
You seem way too emotionally invested in the business decisions for a company that you, I am going to assume, likely aren’t a customer of.
Apple can be criticized for a lot of things, but trying to accuse them of not knowing their customer base because they don’t act like MS is silly. MS used to be top dog, and now its not... so not emulating MS isn’t exactly a bad thing.
No Apple operates like most companies in transition. It just pretends to be what it used to be. Apple substitutes political activism for innovation.
