progo in NYC on Nostr: I didn't ever know this was true, but I'll bet it's like when Steve Jobs killed Flash ...
I didn't ever know this was true, but I'll bet it's like when Steve Jobs killed Flash for everyone by refusing to support Flash on IOS.
At the time, for Apple, it was about "controlling the [walled garden] experience" but as a side effect, we didn't have Flash eating through your battery and infecting your browser with malware.
Right now I'll bet Apple is afraid of third party watch faces having enough influence to make average users feel like Apple Watch battery life sucks.
