Macworld - For Apple, change could be a good sign
Jason Snell:
That’s why I’m optimistic that the dismissal of Forstall to tend his garden might be just the shake-up that iOS needs. In the operating system’s nearly six years of existence, Apple hasn’t really rethought any of iOS’s major features. We’ve seen the continual addition of new features, but very little has disappeared to be replaced by something utterly new. iOS is pretty good, but that stasis is odd, and perhaps even a little self-delusional on Apple’s part: Nothing is inviolably perfect, especially on the first try.
It’s a pertinent reality check on what drew us all to Apple in the first place, and it finishes with a great observation on Cook’s accomplishments so far.
