The recent release of Apple Music accompanied by delight IT-community. Jim Dalrymple - a popular Apple-blogger - I wrote for the publication of The Loop: «I am impressed the hell." Two weeks later, under his own authorship published an articleIn which he calls the Apple Music nightmare. Why does this happen, what happened to the notorious euphoria from using Apple products and how to fix it - edition "MakRadara» found answers to these questions.
A week after the launch of Apple Music almost every publication on IT to tell their own stories, emphasizing the imperfections and shortcomings of the abundance of music service. Apple should split applications and the operating system - these are the problems a solution that it is time to implement as soon as possible.
Why do users wait for the release of a new version of iOS, to correct the confusion with playlists in Apple Music?
Such an approach would relieve the company from claims of users and developers to give free hot fix existing bugs and adding missing functionality. Let us for example to the creators or Medium Slack: Web technologies and automatic updates to the App Store and save you from unnecessary information about the versions of the applications and the need for updates.
Now imagine a situation where in the Apple Music found critical bug that needs to be corrected as quickly as possible. The procedure is compulsory OTA-update reboot the phone → → waste of time waiting for all operations. And it will take even to correct "minor" problems. Agree, this method is not acceptable in 2015.
We obtain a double-edged sword: the company simply can not often offer upgrades, which consist of the item "error correction", because it greatly reduces customer loyalty. On the other hand, the current situation hinders progress and provokes the appearance of debate, similar to those that emerged around Apple Music.
Another example - "Maps," which two years later and remain in failure and the subject for jokes online community. And even though this fact is to obtain information about the navigation of public transport, you have to wait until the autumn.
Later - a low percentage for iOS at the start of the update.
Nevertheless, even 45% - a huge figure in comparison with those of a competitor from Google. The opposite situation is with application updates without reference to the system. Apple in this matter far behind: the years of effort Android developers to translate into reality the update keyboard or telephone applications independently of each other and the operating system itself.
Apple it is time to use the same tools that it provides developers. Then the "Music", "Podcasts" and "Maps" will finally get a chance to compete on an equal footing with numerous alternatives.
