[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 9207975, member: 7635"] Sorry, but this list reads more like "old man doesn't understand technology". The iPhone changed how we connect with each other and the world. Apple also has a walled garden it controls from its apps to its accessories (the latter needed European regulators change). There is a perfectly viable option to it (android) but iPhone remains in the minds of the populace the standard for smart phones. And Apple hasn't been exactly open with sharing with android. Apple maps, iMessage and other staple apps aren't available. Further, they make it hard to move to Android and keep your info. They are everything you accuse WotC of. If we were to take your list of suggestions and some it to Apple [LIST] [*]We would demand iPhones allow us to save our data to physical media like burning CDs of Apple Music tracks. [*]We would advise people to use Android software, particularly forks of Android made by smaller companies. [*]We would incentivize using 3pp apps instead of Apple-made ones. [*]We would convince people that digital isn't needed. Buy a CD player. Use a calculator. Right post-it notes and send postcards to friends. Get a landline corded phone. Encourage using classic methods and don't rely on Apple's tech that won't be there forever. [/LIST] If you want to reply to this, come find me on UseNet. [/QUOTE]
