Come on, Apple. What are you doing? I was thinking just the other day that Apple should virtualize older iPhones within the latest iPhone system software, so you could seamlessly open old apps and games (32-bit, anyone?) in their own containerized environments. I can't think why they haven't added this feature for any reason other than money grubbing.

You could even customize the containers to be completely closed off from the rest of the iPhone—no contacts, no Internet access (or high security Internet access), etc.

Come on, Apple. Do something good for once. Oh and bring back the headphone jack.

This is one of the things I dislike about hacker news: People responding to what is clearly emotional hyperbole as though it were a literal statement.

The OP expresses disappointment with Apple -- exactly what the cause was is unstated. People are allowed to have such feelings. I've had them myself. In recent years, Apple has killed things I liked and pushed a lot of services/login crap I have zero interest in. Other people like the new changes. That's OK too.

> OP expresses disappointment with Apple

I read it as polarisation against Apple. As in what follows is not to be taken literally, but as a diatribe. The message being, in essence, "I don't like Apple." If that wasn't the intended message, OP is right--the comment is stronger without it.
