RE: Apple vs. Google - Closed Versus Open Systems - Book Club #19: "Steve Jobs"

in #reading7 years ago

Well, closed source systems open the possibility of unilateral decisions that harm the consumer, even when the consumer are almost unanimously against it, like when Apple removed the headphone jack, or the much hated mandatory windows 10 autoupdate.

Sort:  

That's very very true. Luckily Apple innovated around the headphone jack with the Airpods and I actually prefer this much better to the old system of the corded headphones.

Its true that apple has a following who prefers each and every one of their innovations. Its kinda like the inverse of Microsoft, where each follower hates every innovation. :P
