"Seems everyone is just looking at the music stuff. How about the fact you must use iTunes to sync your devices for contacts

Incorrect.

pictures etc.

Incorrect.

That part has been ignored by Apple and is getting worse.

Or actually - not even true.

Constant errors telling you that a session cannot be estabished to the device when in fact it has. The backups are always failing just to name a few items either not working or very poorly designed. Apple either needs to create a seperate app for syncing devices or fix this one."

The only thing iTunes is required for is if you want to sync your iTunes music library to your iDevice. If you use Spotify for music, or any other music listening app, this is not necessary.

iTunes is not needed for backup. iTunes is not needed to sync contacts. iTunes is not needed for anything. You can buy an iPhone today and use 100% without ever starting iTunes on your computer.

iDevices sync data to iCloud and backup to iCloud if you want to. Works like a dream.

I could't have said it better

Probably not. You are used to saying incorrect things.

i'd just add that: Apple won't do that: their business model is to get you into their shop at every opportunity.

Which, of course, doesn't require you to use iTunes on your computer one single time. The store are available directly on the device, if you didn't know.

The climax: when you *log off the shop* from anywhere, it will default you to the shop view.

No.

And why do you imagine that I would be interested in anything but examples of how APPLE's software has done the opposite of improve; examples you've yet to actually give, BTW.

Laszlo Lebrun
Just because I believe that you are not a stubborned person, and you are able to consider the universe outside Apple as well? Am I wrong? My statement was not exclusively criticizing Apple. You should at least acknowledge that.

Your examples excluded Apple, however.

Alan Baker
How does that address what I said?

Laszlo Lebrun
Go figure.

Typical Michel non-answer.
