I hope that tomorrow Apple will release a new operating system that is a game changer, but you'll not able to install it in your macbook air that is two months old.
But your friends with a new MBA that has an improved webcam will be able to run it. Even if the features have nothing to do with the webcam.
Then you probably will understand that there is something unfair about it.
No, not really. Siri is not central to the experience. It’s an add-on. It doesn’t make the old iOS devices obsolete (like, say, not supporting iCloud would).
simple modulo the 670 euros to spend for the base model, plus the fact you already spent the same amount of money a few months ago. I hope you have a lot of apple stocks at least.
If it’s not worth the 670€ you don’t have to buy it. That’s how it works. You evaluate. Apple has no monopoly on voice control so you can also easily switch to – for example – Android.
The old iOS devices work just as well as they ever have. If you want Siri you have to buy the new phone. Apple has taken away nothing whatsoever from you.
This all seems completely fair to me. Can we please stop pretending that consumers are mindless zombies and companies are accordingly treating them unfairly when they don’t give them everything they want?
(Edit: I would appreciate if someone could tell me what is wrong – to the degree that it deserves to be downvoted – with what I said.)
Really? That’s how you are going to spin it? Talk about entitlement.
There is no guarantee that all free apps on the App Store will be free forever. It seems absurd to me to believe that. I treat free apps like presents: I don’t expect anything from them. (I guess that’s why I prefer to pay for apps.)
I haven't got a horse in this race, I'm just pointing out a technicality. A formerly available application is no longer available and its servers have been disabled, so the application will no longer function even if you downloaded it previously. Your initial claim was "Apple has taken away nothing whatsoever from you" and you're now pulling a no true scotsman.
