Dear Apple, it’s over. ..

Dear Apple,  I’m sorry but it’s just not working out. It’s not you, it’s me.  Look, the last four years have been good. I’m not going to forget the memories we made. Yes,  we’ve had our ups and downs, but it’s just not the same any more. I remember how excited I used to get when an update was announced,  or staying up all night just to see a keynote. But the passion is waning. Then there are all the health issues you’ve had, the constant rebooting, the lackluster battery, the fights with Xcode, the mediocre updates. You teased me with your promise of a wearable, but it seems to be just more of the same,  lack of care for developers and more media hype,  your dad would be horrified if he knew what you were up to.  I’m sorry it’s time I moved on.   In fact I’ve a confession to make,  you remember that skinny white phone that’s been hanging around my desk, well its become serious between us, in fact I’m now using it and the watch as my primary device. You see I no longer have to use propriety IDE’s and learn obscure languages, I can use cool tools like DevExtreme by DevExpress and target more than you offered. So this is it, this is goodbye.

Paul
