Ha! I bet you would mind if you lived in a country where it's 100 dollars a month for "unlimited" throttled internet and therefore you don't have a contract. You're just about to get on your bike and use a navigation app which then asks you to enter your iTunes pw. So you then have to get to a wifi zone to hook up to their servers. If your router is strong enough usually you can do this without going back in the house with helmet and all the gear on. If not, then well, you get the picture... I have waited sometimes 10 minutes just to enter a password so i can ride my bike using Cyclemeter. Add em all up - those 10 minutes = 5 solid days per annum standing waiting for their server to recognise my one strength wifi signal from outside the door so i can then tell them i am the owner of a purchased app (not a free one!) and can i please now ride my fin bike???
Apple has become the most horrendously retrogressive disaster I ever bought into
Last week, I took an Apple X back to their store. Brand new. Unboxed it, set up all the apps and then upgraded to 11.3 - big mistake. Screen went haywire like it had a robot in it and was doing all sorts of crazy stuff. The Apple kid in the store said "you know, you get these faults in almost anything you buy nowadays from time to time." to which I replied that "at 1400 bucks the equivalent best of the range Bentley Continental or Lear Jet better not go haywire on me straight off the line". He wasn't interested. He was actually about to take a brand new iPhone X into the workshop to get the screen replaced until i gave him a piece of my mind.... REPLACEMENT PLEASE
Wish I could sell ALL my 7 Apple devices and just forget about it. 10-15k wasted and MANY MANY months in the last 12 years spent trying to fix/understand/workaround their untested, un-bullet-proofed sh..
