Apple actually developed Photos, Aperture, iMovie and iWork because Adobe and Microsoft announced they were going to cease development of Photoshop and Elements, as MS threatened to do for Office for the Mac. If this were true they would be charging for Photos, Photo Library and Photo Booth, the iWork Suite, iMovie, Shortcuts, Health, Safari, Garage Band, Voice Memos, Wallet, the new Translate, FaceTime, the free iCloud Drive, freebie News, Podcasts, iTunes and more.
This would come as a big surprise to Adobe, Microsoft, and especially to many, many thousands of other highly successful app developers that depend on Apple hardware to stay in business. You can’t separate the software from the hardware with Apple, so you still don’t have the ability to choose what you do and don’t do with your computer.Today we have taken another step towards that goal.” Our goal has always been that our devices are only used to accomplish socially acceptable outcomes. Have you seen some of the terrible things people write on their Apple computers and phones!?!? Why isn’t Apple doing something to prevent such terrible things from being down with their software and hardware? “We take these sorts of things very seriously and have updated our software so that nobody can type these words using our devices ever again.
It’s a terrible idea for Apple to have control over what you can and can’t do with their software. Apple is one of the big opponents of right to repair laws, and one of the worst offenders. You can’t do what you want with the hardware, either.
You can’t separate the software from the hardware with Apple, so you still don’t have the ability to choose what you do and don’t do with your computer.Īpple’s desire to switch from a hardware sales company to a services revenue company means that they are incentivized to prevent you from doing things you used to be able to do and then charge you on a monthly basis to be able to do it.
