Good article, good to see someone who appreciates how strong Apple's strategy really is, rather than just hating.
A nice comment somewhere in this thread about CEOs of corps competing to get the best app - Apple managed to turn the iPhone into arguably the premier ego-arena on the planet. A characteristic which gives iOS an allure which should not be underestimated, unless you happen to enjoy being crushed like a bug.
Do you mean pro-Apple as in a fanboy who thinks everything Apple does is great, or pro-Apple as in he appreciates and respects their design chops and business acumen?
Neither really. Pro-Apple in that he is willing to give Apple the benefit of the doubt. If they make a decision he doesn't understand or agree with, he will figure out some acceptable reason they would do that he can agree with. Someone who is anti-Apple would look at the same facts and come up with a reason they are incorrect, for doing the same thing.
Essentially, I would be shocked if Asymco had a post saying he disagreed with Apple's strategy.
