Can we start using the word “beleaguered” yet?

I am much more likely to buy an app from the App Store than install anything for my Windows mini, other than from a major vendor or widely used open source app. I love when web sites want to install apps on my Windows box, never happens on Apple.

To those who fell in love with Steve Jobs' Apple—a company that stood for bold ideas and doing what's right—this harsh rebuke feels like watching a hero lose their way. 💔 #apple

as he has been doing for years. time for Tim to be downgraded.

Doesn’t seem like a strong hand, to me, but Epic hasn’t ever seemed averse to going all in with a weak hand.

I hope this forces a deep rethink of strategy. I worry it won’t. Someone at Apple surely has to realize that they can win by being a better version of Android under their own terms, rather than losing by being a half-baked version under duress.

That’s my take too:

Please for the love of god break up all these anticompetitive dipshits before they can buy their way out of trouble.

I'm sure the judge did, too.

Now we know what happened to the Apple Intelligence features in Siri. “Hey Siri, why can so few people see the beauty and elegance of a 30% commission and a captive market?” “Follow the court order, Tim.” “Hey Siri, you’re cancelled.”

@marcoarment.bsky.social is rough on Cook’s leadership, but things like this really bring me around to his point of view.

I seem to remember Steve Jobs commenting on how companies makes bad product and horrible decisions when the marketing department gets to wield the power.

Even beyond the 30%. I just think all of Apple’s platforms would be so much better if they adopted the Mac model

It’s wild how Apple was handed an almost-complete victory against Tim “Suing to hook credit card readers to slot machines for children” Sweeney and Epic, and all they had to do was one simple, reasonable thing, and they blew it so completely.

Yikes.
