Send Apple feedback. They need to hear how unpopular working with Trump will make them.
Seriously this and their malicious compliance with EU regulations was the first time I wanted to leave their ecosystem behind completely. Unfortunately nothing else even comes close but if it stays like this, I‘ll ditch them for good and accept a shittier UX for more ethical products.
It would be awesome if Apple and Google’s fuckery led to a strong third option but I don’t see it happening in the next five years.
There needs to be political will behind it to break the global market dominance. China for example could decouple and build their own system. They have the technological and economic base to do it well. They are only likely to do it due to a major political crisis or change.
Other than that, it’s just very hard to compete with these established complex ecosystems.
Done. Not sure it will matter, but I guess we have to do anything we can.
I remember a while back, you could send emails to some high ups at Apple like Craig Federighi or Phill Schiller, and if you got lucky you’d get an actual reply from them. Even Steve Jobs back in the day.
It wasn’t much, but this kind of thing made megacorps feel a lot more « human » than they do today
One can still write to them, of course (the two execs you referenced are <lastname>@apple.com). I wrote to Federighi about the badly redesigned photos app in iOS 18. There was no response, but they fixed a few things in iOS 26, so I like to think my feedback made a small difference.
Yeah, but i haven’t heard of people getting a reply from them in years
The only thing these megacorps understand is money, never buy their products again, and convince others to do the same.
Link doesn’t work for me
