Will this make any practical difference?

Hopefully.

Apple needs to change its ways.


In contrast, Dell provide detailed downloadable service manuals for their computers.
It is also often possible to buy spare parts, either direct from Dell or from places
like eBay.

The BBC need to do some explaining. I have a Samsung TV which used to support
iPlayer but this capability was removed, apparently at the request of the BBC, because
its performance was not adequate. I was perfectly happy to accept occasional
crashes in preference to not having it at all. (I know there are other ways...)
