Apple. Is it true that no one can stand their latest op-sys?

Apparently, Apple 4 iPhones and iPads are going at a premium, even used because people hate the new operating system on the iPhone 5 and new iPad? I don't own Apple but I've read a few things and someone today was lamenting it to me. Apparently, you can't install the old system on new gear?

 

People get used to stuff. The UI and appearance of iOS7 is minimalist
and suits some folks, and just like most things there are those who
don;t like change.

Yup! once you upgrade from iOS6 to iOS7 there is no return. It is like
burning bridges behind you as you advance.

people hate change, but the skeuomorphic crap had to go.

he said new gear, not updating old gear.

 

yea, they hate it so much that ios 7 is on nearly 80% of devices in 2
months, making it the fastest adoption of a new release of ios ever.

well there you go. one person hates it so therefore apple is doomed.

there are some user interface problems, but on the whole it's much
better than before.

the biggest benefit is the awful skeuomorphism is gone.

of course not. the old system doesn't know about hardware that didn't
exist when it was created.

and why would anyone want that anyway? ios 7 offers a wealth of new
features that didn't exist on the older system. why would anyone want
to downgrade?

and it's not like it's just apple either. you can't install windows xp
on new computers. you can't install old versions of android on new
android phones.

just another moronic troll of yours.

 

For someone who hates a company, you seem to have a curious love/hate
relationship. Did you play with ants when you were a kid?

 

I don't look for anything regarding Apple, people volunteer this stuff whentalking. In the early 80's, I was intrigued by Apple, interested in theircomputers. But an engineer friend of mine who went into re-programming (re-writting software) then said that the system was junk and that the peoplehe met who used them were sub-intelligent. My biggest gripe with Apple was how they positioned themselves, as some kind of rebel anti-corporate establishment company. But they weren't, they were as corporate as Microsoft or IBM and they made some questionable decisions along the way. Plus, they (later on) have appealed to the general population, which usually means something is lacking.

 

Kind of like Nikon's latest firmware update that apparently killed off the ability in some of their cameras to use 3rd party batteries.

 

iOS7 adoption is at 70%, 75% for iPhones and 65% for iPads. People "hated"
Apple Maps in iOS6 as well, and they had a reason to. iOS7 is a matter of
taste, and I have total respect for anyone not liking it due to taste. But
as with Facebook updates, people get used to it and will be outraged the
next time Apple changes the design again.

 

Wait, what? You were interested in a product and then a friend told you the
"system" was junk and that people who used the producct were dumb? Was your
entire stance towards this product based on what one friend of yours said
about it? What other parts of your life do you let this friend control?

No doubt! They played the underdog for quite some time, because - well they
were the underdog. And it's true that even as underdog's, they were still a
commercial company that wanted people's hard earned money.

Curiously, Microsoft is now the ones playing underdog to Apple and Google.

How so? Doesn't Canon and Nikon do the same? Niche companies may thrive in
their niche, but Apple always made consumer-friendly devices from the
start. This was nothing new "later on", it was true from the very
beginning. Sure, their products were always in the upper price range so
many *couldn't* use them, but that remains true today as well, so I'm not
sure what "later on" may mean here.

 

Same as with old, Apple laptops because even teh old ones are preferred to teh newer windows laptops but some which is why they hold their price.

I only know one person that hated the new ios7 but when I moved his glass ~10 cm he hated that too, he suffers from OCD so any change he dislike for a few months then once he's used to that he hates the next change.

I did wonder how often he changes his underwear but I'd rather not know ;-)

 

Perolpe talk bollocks nom suprise their.

What do you mean by re-writing software ?

I've met a lot of sub inteligent people most use PCs.

Most of the genral population are lacking so why not take advantage of themtoo ?

 

Tired of ripping on plastic cameras?

Why don't you try talking about something you actually know something
about?

 

Hope you've been well Randall.

 

I think iOS-7 will reduce the attractiveness of the iPad to new users,
by losing some of the special style of the icons and programs. I
certainly don't like it as much - it seems largely like change for
change's sake.

Its only redeeming feature (to me) is the HDR setting for the camera.
That feature is very successful!

 

The only thing lacking is your rationale...

 

That would not be possible, LOL!

 

probably because those batteries were not up to spec in one way or
another.

 

yet you never mention other companies, such as google or microsoft.

you have a fixation on apple.

then he was a moron.

he must think nasa employees are sub-intelligent, because they use a
lot of macs. landing spacecraft on mars is for stupid people anyway.

or mit students, who also use a lot of macs. only sub-intelligent
people go to mit. it's a party school, after all.

every company makes questionable decisions along the way. why single
out one?

nonsense.

 

old numbers. ios 7 adoption is nearing 80% now. it was 74% a month ago.
it's the fastest adoption of any version of ios.

a small vocal minority likes to bitch (as they always do) but most
people love it because it's *much* better than ios 6 and earlier. it
does have some issues but those will mostly get fixed. there are a
shitload of new features that can make for some very compelling apps.

the biggest problem is that it's a bit buggy and some apps occasionally
crash.

 

is there anything?
