Apple is winning

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

After (alas) losing my iPhone recently, I got myself a new one and sat down to unlock it.

Phew!  Its not easy any more.  Apple has managed to mess enough with its newer iPhones that unlocking once again requires opening up the phone, which isn’t exactly something for everyone.
It is hard to believe how the image of this company I once worshiped has changed. A few months ago I was in Apple HQ, and they had a 70′ tall banner in the lobby announcing the iPhone - it made the iPhone look like a giant Mao Zedong.
Meanwhile, the new Apple stores just seem scarier every time I go there.  I still like and use Apple’s products, but the company is starting to scare me.
