I like Apple products. But I hate Apple. I bought a mac mini and an iPhone 3g when it came out. I loved it. I bought everything just to make apps, and I did it. But I learn one thing: Apple doesn't care about me, only about the money that I bring them. Everyone always says how great their Customer Support is, everyone that is not a developer. They do not care about your problem, they will not try to help you. No info…

You bought products, you're a customer. You make products, you're not a customer. You need them more than they need you (unless you're talking about roadblock problems for an insignificant portion of developers.

Are you sure? how do you think makes more money with the AppStore? Also i paid to be a developer so i still am a customer. And if it was for that even normal customers need more a computer than what Apple needs them...

You are also forgetting that if it wasn't for the developers that created the content in the AppStore the iPhone would have been just a phone like all the others.

What you bought are still useful devices with all the bugs the Simulator doesn't represent, and then the Simulator for the different screen size. What are you going to move to where you can avoid this?

i dont want to move anywhere. things are worse in other spaces. iphone 5 is awesome. the point i was trying to make was, if they had notified us before the screen change, i could have waited and got the new ones. I didnt say this when they released iphone 4s or iPhone 3gs where there wasn't a screen size change.

You bought them a whole year ago, is that year of an app in the app store not easily paying $300 for a new ipod?

They wouldn't announce it that far ahead, it'd stop people buying the then current version.
