Apple gets asked a lot why it doesn’t do a low-end phone, a low-end laptop, or what have you.
It’s just not Apple’s way, longtime Apple VP Greg Joswiak said at the recent Code/Mobile conference.
Joswiak also talked about the recent issues with iOS software bugs, noting that Apple moves quickly when issues do crop up. As for the specific issue with iOS 8.0.1, he noted that the problem with the software wasn’t actually the iOS update itself. The technology used to deliver the update introduced the error, which prevented some phones from making calls.
He also talked about a wide range of other things, including Apple Pay.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple reasons that we can't rely only on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on.
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. We can’t do that if we have a paywall.
That’s why we also turn to you, our readers, to help us keep Vox free. If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today?
