Im seriously thinking ditching Apple for good now

2 pointsby aivoshaabout 9 years ago
We all know that Apple&#x27;s quality is slowly but surely degrading and its been on my mind for some time now to find alternatives for all the Apple devices im using. I have macbooks i use for work and at home, I use mac mini as my server and of course I use bunch of iphones&#x2F;ipads.<p>The last straw for me was 10 minutes ago, when I updated my iOS to 9.3 to get the long waited and probably one of the really useful features Apple has produced in a long time, the Night Shift, and only to learn that my device, iphone5 is not supported ! WTF Apple !? Whats so special about changing the color gamut&#x2F;temperature that iPhone5 cant pull off ? Am I missing anything here ?

There&#x27;s been a really great pair of apps in Android for the last couple of years that handle &quot;Night Shift&quot; functionality.<p>The one that dims the screen further than the 0% brightness setting called Night Mode, and one that skews the colors to reduce blue light called Bluelight Filter.<p>Both work remarkably well together, and if your screen is AMOLED they even save you a little battery power.

Yeah no need for apple here but I&#x27;m a web&#x2F;android developer so while I still might need windows for building android and doing ableton live I got a nice little lenovo box for $200 and was all set, with a raspberry pi2 to do rails, java, and node development.

Isn&#x27;t proprietary stupid software feature restriction what sparked the GNU movement?

So... you are upset your old phone doesn&#x27;t support the latest iOS feature?
