Title: Apple will survive its terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week (because that's what Apple does) Post by: HCK on September 26, 2014, 03:00:17 pm Apple will survive its terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week (because that's what Apple does)
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Apple’s having a tough time. Its annual one-two punch of an iPhone launch plus an iOS upgrade—usually a time for celebration—has been followed this year by a compounding series of embarrassments. Forget that the company sold 10 million phones in three days and moved half of its installed base to a new version of its mobile operating system: it’s still been a rough week for Tim Cook and company.</p><p> First, an iOS 8 bug (http://www.macworld.com/article/2685392/bug-infects-apples-ios-8-healthkit-delaying-app-launches.html) prevented any of the health and fitness apps that were ready to launch with HealthKit integration from hitting the App Store. Health is a major initiative for Apple, so the hiccup was a big one. Then, once the iPhone 6 Plus began shipping, some buyers reported their phones were bending when put under pressure (http://www.macworld.com/article/2687107/iphone-6-pocket-problems-some-buyers-report-that-sitting-down-bends-phones.html). Now, that isn’t so strange: thin aluminum bends. But the complaints spawned a meme (#Bendghazi or #Bendgate, depending on where you look), and other brands were quick to capitalize on Apple’s predicament with their own ads.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2687889/apple-will-survive-its-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-week-because-thats-what-apple-does.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Apple will survive its terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week (because that's what Apple does) (http://www.macworld.com/article/2687889/apple-will-survive-its-terrible-horrible-no-good-very-bad-week-because-thats-what-apple-does.html#tk.rss_all) |
