Apple has always had a take-it-or-leave-it attitude;
Not quite. One example comes to mind.
On one hand, there
was a response to
logical complaints from a minority of customers about the removal of the sidebar from iCal.
On the other hand, that response was too slow. Way too slow, and worse than than: it was the second time that the same mistake had been forced. Apple then was too stubborn.
I don't get why you think that'll change now.
Apple now is more open.
People that don't like the design are a tiny, tiny minority.
Tim Cook
reportedly said, in 2012: "The only thing we'll never do is make a crappy product
".
If
any minority can demonstrably prove that aspects of a product are
significantly crappy, at release time, then such demonstrations will undermine Apple's claims of producing the best.
A slow, gradual undermining should be no more acceptable than a sudden undermining (such as the public response to the introduction of Maps).
If the one million beta testers are gained soon enough, then from amongst that number, I hope that there will be just enough
logical feedback, to Apple, for the company to realise that some things must not be
forced upon all users of an OS.
Aim for good quality feedback, people. And reproducibility.
If your feedback is highly emotive: include concise screen recordings or movies of you trying,
failing to achieve a task. Whether or not you put yourself in the frame:
speak as you perform each action with the Mac; make clear to the viewer/listener
why your emotions are naturally high
. Re: paleness, as another forum member suggested earlier, try using Flux to change the white point.. maybe that'll help ease your pain.
