I can see it from a developer’s perspective. I also used Apple tools to develop.

If the App Store can be pressured into being more equitable w developers I am all for it.

I have a lot of brand loyalty to Apple because of the top notch customer service.

For example, I found a minor bug in High Sierra in how the Midi settings was working with displaying icons of external hardware devices. I called tech support and was eventually booted up to engineering. I helped them track down what was going on. The bug was fixed in Mojave.

I just bought Final Cut Pro as I am getting back into video production. Tech support has been great on that product, the team is happy to sit on the phone with me and answer all my questions as I am learning it.

I use Windows as well and I give a hat tip to Hewlett-Packard. But even they aren’t on the same level as Apple when it comes to customer service.

All I see here is a bunch of DU Apple “haters” using this class action suit as a way to tear down a good company who tries very hard to keep its customers happy.

It is a typical pattern on DU which I just don’t get.

Some DU’ers for some reason wanna act like Apple is a viscious Asshole because it fits some kind of left over “platform wars” narrative they have in their heads.

I’ll also that note in this thread (and others in the past) that Apple customers are being bashed as cultists.

I really don’t understand why this “war” is a thing here on DU. It the real world it is over.

Don’t we have a White House and Senate to take back? What’s more important, ‘destroying Apple, or destroying Donald Trump?
