Though Schiller transitioned from marketing chief to “Apple Fellow” in 2020 to take a step back from Apple and spend more time on personal projects and friends, he is reportedly working close to 80 hours a week.
Schiller is known for responding to emails almost immediately, and answering phone calls at all hours. He testified during the Epic v. Apple lawsuit to ardently defend the App Store, and he is involved in Apple’s EU messaging as well. Schiller joined in on Apple PR calls with members of the media when the iOS 17.4 changes were announced, and he spent time explaining how the DMA will impact user privacy and security in Europe.
It makes sense that sleep deprivation is the reason for App Store being such a nightmare.
Discoverability doesn’t exist beyond what Apple shows you. Search is Amazon level of random. Pending updates were moved to account settings to make space for Apple Arcade.
I recommend this shortcut for searching the App Store.
I don’t mind that last one truthfully, but I use Apple Arcade sometimes. I hate in app purchases enough to tolerate the paltry selection.
But that’s fair on the other two points.
Lots of shovelware. Lots of apps that are just websites wrapped in an app wrapper. Stuff slipping through that are obvious copies of other apps. Malicious apps getting through the approval process. Piracy apps getting through the approval process. Support links on app pages that lead to nowhere.
What are some piracy apps that have gotten through?
My biggest complaint is all the apps without recurring costs that are subscription-based.
It has gotten challenging to find good and useful apps that aren’t just a bunch of the worst dark patterns mixed together these days.
What is this the 2010’s? CEOs and their dipshit staff trying to make multitasking great again? They think 80 hour work weeks is a flex? How’s his family? In a shambles or non existent? These rich people are such losers they just keep embarrassing themselves.
Anyone who works that much, or at least that much not for themselves, is a fucking loser
What an idiot
