I'm done with reading articles from people being done with Apple every time Apple announces an update or launches a new product.

I'm, more and more, convinced that it's a kind of new marketing strategy from apple. Something like negative marketing for the masses (because it's more viral maybe?).

For example, we never talked so much about their phones, expect when they bent in the pockets...

AGREED 100%. They forget the people who are MAKING the apps for all of these nice mobile devices they are selling hundreds of millions of.

What happened to Apple being for those who want to create things.

possibly valid, possibly using some rogue app that's killing the battery life, possibly bad unit

> apple TV: Whenever I turn my unit on, without fail I have to rip the plug out of the back and start again.

Obviously defective unit. too dumb to replace it.

> appleWatch: Never has a piece of technology made me more miserable.

never actually mentions any QA related problems.

> So why do I have to tell my Watch not to disturb me in a meeting?

because it's a device designed to give you notifications and most people want them even in meetings. I would.

> Or worse still shake my wrist like crazy when I’m on a live TV set?

that's just your own personal brand of crazy.

There are many reasons for PROS to be done with Apple, such as: lack of any serious upgrades to their top of the line Mac Pros in years, no decent GPU's for VR work, dumbing down of their professional suite of applications: Final Cut Pro, Logic. But, for someone to complain about the Apple Watch or lack of new hardware introductions at an event that's historically been aimed at software developers?? Pffft this guys is just trolling.

"translation: I was too stubborn to buy a case / bumper to prevent this and suffered and bitched for a year instead"

Or, the product is faulty as he rightfully stated. The fact that a fault like this can be remedied by purchasing another product, which you shouldn't have to, is besides the point.

It's a cellphone, if there's anything it should do properly, it's make calls.
