Reminds me of a discussion that was on anothe HN article a few weeks back where someone proudly stated that if a feature customers used didn&#x27;t fit for in with the companies strategic direction they&#x27;d drop it, and tough luck for the customer.<p>Apple seem to have the same mentality. They <i>used</i>&#x27;to get away with it, but mostly because they replaced it with something better. Now they just seem to drop features entirely. That&#x27;s not a good way of going. As much as I despise Steve Jobs, he never let that quality of a product drop to the degree that big customers (or even smaller customers) left Apple without a major fight to keep them.<p>It&#x27;s looking like Apple&#x27;s obsession with making great and quality products is taking a bit of a backward seat. I think they probably need to worry a little less on their schedule, and more on polish and feature completeness.<p>Rather remarkable I&#x27;m actually saying this, to be honest! Apple would be the last people I would have guessed needed this advise...
