Translation for the text:
Innovation for a company means profits and companies will do everything for profits, if it does not, another one comes along and replaces it, it happened with Nokia, BlackBerry, Motorola (when they made processors), IBM, etc., etc. if or if there is innovation, do you realize how much technology has advanced in just 50 years? It has advanced more than in the previous 500 years.
Some guy was able to ask him why planned obsolescence exist and then this guy responded with some god awful cope.
Translation:
I am a developer, I make applications for phones and technology advances too fast, every year there are better processors and capabilities, in my case I could continue to support “old” phones, for example an iPhone 6 but I no longer do it because: There are not many users of those phones. Is to include more code for older phones Testing with more phones It makes it difficult for me to add new features. To give you an example, if Facebook, Google, WhatsApp wanted to, they could still support 10 year old phones. But they don’t do it anymore because it’s not worth it. As I say, we move very fast, it’s not only Samsung, it’s not Apple or Motorola who make their phones obsolete, it’s us as devs but it’s because we move very fast. People clamor for innovation every year and many buy a new phone every year…
Updating an app for a new phone model is not innovation 😂
The fact that he writes shit like this while being a developer makes me think that he has yet to see what happens when a company understaffs their teams while doing round of layoffs to “trim the fat” of the teams that are in charge of new features.
He does sound like kid fresh out of college lol
His first comment isn’t wrong. What companies mean by “innovation” is new ways to profit off you.
Such idiocy, companies (especially tech companies) artificially slow down the progress to increase their profits, not the other way around.
From the “Innovation” standpoint there’s no need to release a phone every year, but Apple does it, why? To innovate or make money? Why then every time a new iPhone comes out it’s barely distinguishable from the previous one, aside from a couple of features? iPhones are powerful enough to withstand 10+ years, so why not release a drastically new phone at least once in five years? Wouldn’t giving more time for your engineers to innovate bring even more innovation?
