This material - the cry of the soul Macbook Pro user, iPhone and iPad, which incidentally bit boring topic development under iOS. My cry.
Recently I found myself iOS 6 BetaAnd it seems my love for Apple started to decline. One gets the feeling that Apple specifically does so that their decisions were worse than those of the same Microsoft. Let me explain...
iPad Mini and MBP Retina
Listen, why do they do like SAMSUNG? Why do different diagonal, resolution, and generally produce all this zoo? Why produce connectors and adapters? Why do we need the laptop today, in which the screen is arranged so that half the sites look like shit? Earlier in the Android vs iOS debate I have always led an argument - one screen and all - painted pictures, made app and sell. Now, when developing for the iPad you have two radically different solution. If you are developing for iPhone, then you already have the order of the two resolutions, and, perhaps, will be the third. If they change the aspect ratio in The New iPhone :) - then it will be very bad. It will be like in a couple of Android with SAMSUNG.
focus
I am always pleased the iPhone so that it did not have the widgets, there were notifications and other "cartoons" that would distract me from the ground - my application is running in full screen. An application that I have entrusted your time, attention, and problem. Now I jump on the notification at the top and in the middle - they keep me distracted. I know how to configure them, yes. But if I wanted to configure always something, then I would be Android. The local users are experiencing so that they do not have Vyzhigatel and jigsaw that Poston carved on their phones is something awkward - very convenient, but somehow always rebuilt.
Social crap
Okay, you have integrated Sharing all content from your phone to sotssetochki strangers who call friends. Well, you had a Twitter, but now there and Facebook! But why push in the notifications area Tap to Tweet and Tap to Post (I say nothing about the naming)? I am interested in the weather and possibly the shares. Let me interested in writing and problem, but why then slapped "postilki" in sotssetochki? I do not understand.
And the integration of the Facebook app on your iPhone. Yes, they are there in the Infinity Loop do not know what is the most buggy and brakes iPhone-app? Everyone knows, but they are not. Is Closed "Buddhist body» iPhone is able to digest the trash inside?
Podcasts
Have you seen this app in your work? Take back his words, that Facebook - the most buggy app. Now it Podcasts from Apple. It is impossible to explain how it is illogical application of the brakes and gets out podkastnoy iTunes ecosystem. Oh yes, I have Mac OSX 10.8 beta, and I see the future, and it sucks.
And yet, in the new firmware iOS 6 have cut podcasts from the Music, and now you have another App. How could one good program to do two mediocrity?
"We want you to lick your iPhone»
My first iPhone - 3G. I liked the fact that all its programs are the same. On Windows XP and Windows Mobile was Noah's zoo different Controllers, skins and God knows what else. There was an order. Now the opposite is true - Microsoft releases Windows 8, of Office 2013 online services that are beautiful, simple and minimalist. Apple also zhzhot. iBooks my wooden, Podcasts me with bobbins and the film, which twitches, OMG!, like a real, Reminders - Leather, Music - aluminum with incomprehensible volume controls that are now cast when the phone is tilted, Notes - torn paper, Find Friends - some stitched leather cords! I must it be nice to touch or lick? Okay, I'm ready to let lick, but then for some reason I do not want to do it in the Contacts and Calendar, which in iOS 6 remained as he was in the first version - gray and minimalist. Why is it all in your mobile device?
Why are you the fruit of the zoo? I'm not talking about OS X, where the same thing happens!
iCloud
There do not understand that as well. Sometimes the cloud gives my pictures, and sometimes not. Why have my photos in Camera Roll, then 1000 pieces of the same photos in Photo Stream on my same phone? And yet these same fotochki in the cloud. Why should locally stored photos twice? They are very large! And why the video does not fly into the cloud, they are unimportant?
And yet, as the novice user to understand what the difference between his old account the MobileMe, iCloud and the new account AppStore? How did he understand why he struck up a Russian account, and now, with the advent of Ukrainian, is forced to re-purchase applications, as it can not move absolutely nothing?
iMessage
Bend operators - cool, because their behavior in the past deserve it. And to write a SMS and MMS channels by Apple - cool. But tell me, why am I going on a split chat, why they come unexpectedly or only on the iPad, or iPhone, or everywhere at once... I am forced to because of the use of Facebook Messenger, as the standart solution neyuzabelno. Not you had Microsoft, which pushed into its OS for many, many applications that nobody used?
New maps in iOS
I decided to write without the mat, so just say "Thank you, we have a Yandex. Cards"!
settings
Go to the new iOS 6 settings. Setting the battery where you show how much space program% (. Do not disturb settings - in Notifications. In general, do not have enough "convenient" registry program to edit it, like in Windows.
Output
It's not all the problems that I encounter in working with the ecosystem Apple. Yes, it is - the best there is today. But trying to embrace everything in the world, Apple becomes a devouring everything in its path by the black hole. And there to the red giant is not far away, is rapidly fading mastodon. Such stories we have seen more than once.
Yes, Stevie was not like this... :(
