&quot;I feel that people sticking up for Apple here is some variant of the Stockholm syndrome.&quot;<p>Brand loyalty is a reasonable thing.<p>Look, most software for most people since the dawn of the personal computer era has been about begging, cajoling, threatening, and screaming at your vendor to support your pet feature.<p>Apple has succeeded in part because it by and large does listen to its customers, it just usually takes far too long to do it the &quot;Apple way&quot; ... but not so long that one wants to switch platforms.<p>In this case, I filed feedback with Apple (which does get read), asking for f.lux support on iOS and&#x2F;or documented APIs they can use.   I&#x27;ll also file this away in my &quot;reasons Apple sucks&quot; list.   This list tends to grow and shrink over time, which means I have some faith in being patient.  With Microsoft in the 90s it just grew unbounded until Windows 2000 was released.<p>The open source world of course allows me to tweak whatever I want, and I did own an Android Samsung GS3 once, but couldn&#x27;t really stand it.  The Linux desktop (ran one from 1994 - 2001) doesn&#x27;t suck but it makes my eyes bleed: not my thing once I switched to OS X.
