How Apple Got the iPhone’s Battery Problems Right, And Siri Problems Wrong by Liba456
Apple's new iPhones are having some stumble out of the gate: recently the new-fangled iOS 5 was revealed to suck downstairs more battery than anybody predicted, and the voice-command feature, Siri, become so popular it seems to have amazed Apple's servers.
Apple's answer to one problem, but not the other, is archetypal of the company. I think Apple did the right thing through the battery-life issue, but I'm upset by its lack of a public explanation for the Siri problems--and yes, the two issues are different and require different approaches.
The iOS 5 succession drain problem seems to be a intricate interaction between a phone's software, a mobile network, and setting. We've seen bugs like this on phone before; remember how some of Samsung's Galaxy S devices at the outset had serious GPS flaws? It can take a while to pinpoint wherever the problem lies.
Apple reacted here by means of deliberation and thoughtfulness. The companionship didn't freak out or say anything rash. It monitor the complaints for a few existence, made some calls to affected consumers to get more details, clearly went back into the lab to find out exactly what was causing the problem, and issued a statement that a fix is coming.
I can't see what more people may well have asked for here--but I realize why they wanted more, and I'll get to with the aim of in a moment. Apple is a team of humans, in a building, hopefully working no more than 12 hours a day, with a lot of products in the pipeline. They heard about a bug, they double-checked before maxim anything, they found the bug, they're fixing the bug. Case closed.
The recent problems with Siri, on the supplementary hand, are a lot less easier said than done and ambiguous, since they're entirely under Apple's have power over. Siri is a service operated by Apple. It's being swarming under the weight of its popularity. This is similar to the Mobile Me fiasco of 2008.
Unlike with a complex handset bug that wants lots of testing to verify, it's moderately easy for Apple to know its servers are overloaded and issue some class of quick statement, for instance: "The tremendous reputation of Siri has led to strain on our servers. We are adding capacity to resolve the trouble, but for now, be aware the overhaul is in beta."
In a curious twist, Apple seems to have been alteration Siri's error messages to construct her explain herself, telling Apple blogger John Gruber that "my intelligence is going." That fits with Apple's strategy: if you boast to admit the products are unsound, try not to admit their creators are as well.
Apple's Counterproductive Mystique
Apple promotes its products as perfect objects produced by demigods. That is transparently false and in fact impossible, but it has worked for the company so far. That approach only becomes a problem when the person origins of Apple's gadgets twist into obvious bugs.
The company takes a very different approach to PR than other tech firms do. Apple execs generally don't speak at conferences, excluding when the conferences are scuttle by Apple itself or by the company's special friends. They don't fuse with journalists or consumers on a regular beginning, and they don't invite queries. The message is: our products are perfect enough to speak for themselves. That builds a mystique not just around the products, but around the creator. Apple's staffers hold themselves above and apart from the normal folks in the technology world.
The flip side of this approach, of course, is that when the products don't speak for themselves, consumers feel uncommonly let down. When the curtain is ripped away to reveal that their devices are just very good consumer electronics created by a bunch of smart but fallible humans, many people feel subtly betrayed. Consumers expect Apple's Olympians to be better than us, but of course, they aren't. They're just people. They make mistakes.
This marketing strategy is also why Apple's bugs get so much more press than other companies' bugs, by the way. When you promise perfection, any imperfection is news. When you call your products "revolutionary and magical," that's a high bar to set. Nobody else promises perfection quite to the extent Apple does.
I've always felt that Apple could do better by pulling back that curtain just a little bit. I remember when I asked an Apple exec, many years ago, about a missing feature in one of its products. The exec told me: we don't have infinite staff, we have to prioritize, it's a tough problem, it's on the list, we're working on it. If Apple said that about managing Siri's server load, I think most people would forgive the company. And if Apple said that about more things more often, I think Apple's critics would forgive it more often. Humans like to empathize, and Apple's marketing approach invites admiration and even worship for the company, but not empathy.
But who am I to criticize? Apple's strategy is stunningly successful because consumers are looking for something simple and perfect, something to pull them out of their difficult and complex lives, something handed down in beauty from the clouds. The company can clearly take a few blows to the chin to protect that mystique.
