For Apple nerds that pay close attention to company, this is no surprise. Third-party dev Marco Arment wrote a blog post speaking to Ternus earlier this month[0].
Marco has enough standing within our world that it's actually a clever idea to appeal to Ternus on these terms. He'll probably be aware that it was written and the appeal is somewhat generic in its call to reverse course on some Cook-era policies.
We're all very hopeful but there's not enough information available on the outside to predict with any certainty how he'll lead.
Marco should concentrate on fixing the UX abomination that Overcast has become instead of writing breathy sophomoric letters. At this point, I’ll vibe code my own podcast player.
Why would anyone pay close attention to a company ?
It is not a tongue in cheek remark, I am genuinely curious
I dunno. Cause I spend a lot of money on their products and a lot of my time using their software. The announcements they make affect the way I use computers.
Does anyone here pay close attention to updates in the Linux kernel or is that pretty stupid too? (To be fair, you didn't call me stupid, but it's sorta there.)
What's Framework doing? I'm pretty jazzed about their laptops even though I don't buy them.
What about game companies that get bought by Microsoft and now people worry that the franchise they love might get killed?
I'm a nerd and I care a lot about a thing. I don't feel bad about that.
Because you’re a shareholder.
Or because you’re interested in the products and the „company community“ is fun and you like talking about it.
