Dear Apple,

I was anxious to try out the new iTunes 9 and iPhone OS 3.1, but to my disappointment, both were worse than the old versions.
First of all, the iTunes interface is ugly. Look, I like your products for one main reason, they don’t look like they want to tear out my eyes when I’m looking at them.
But, iTunes 9: Lighter top bar? Gradients on buttons? Lighter icons? Seriously? While everything else in OS X has gone darker, this has gone lighter?
Mac OS X 10.6.1 update was good though.

There was a good thing in it, that was the ability to rearrange my home screens inside iTunes. But, that was only available to 3.1. 3.0 upgrade was good. 3.0.1 was good. They worked fine…

But today, my iPhone, suddenly, it synced for an hour! What the ****, Apple? What the ****?

With 3.0 it synced for a MAXIMUM of 3 minutes. Even when 2.0 came out it synced for like a max of 10 minutes. But an hour? No, but seriously: It does not take an hour to copy ALL my data over (I have 5GB of it) USB. And it didn’t have to copy all over as it already had all the data on it….

Screw you, Apple.

Sincerely,
your (probably ex-) customer,

Johannes.
