I don’t know why it bothers me so much. I guess I just consider my word to be as good as gold. If I say I’m going to do something, I’m going to do it. And if I screw up, which I do, I try my best to fix it @Apple business promising to place my order at 5 AM for our business and breaking that promise by 3 1/2 hours is one thing. The follow up is worse. “Sorry, we had a nationwide failure” Fine. But to all of the businesses that just got fucked by you, who want to develop applications on this and test it with an actual hands-on device, you basically gave them the middle finger. I don’t want a discount. I don’t want to cut anyone in line. Apple should come up with a solution. Maybe you need to pay your suppliers a 10% bonus to get some extra units in for the business people you just screwed. To me, this is a lesson we can all learn from. If you screw someone: own it. Fix it. But that does not appear to be part of Apple’s integrity anymore Jobs would be disappointed @tim_cook This is how great businesses fail. Look, I get it. There are a bunch of people who read this and say: quit whining. I want to be clear. I’m a big boy and a dad of seven. I can wait. I’ve just seen Apple as an idol. A company to respect. And that feeling is fading. https://t.co/7tAcjknQuQ
