One more thing… Goodbye from iMore

[FFR]

I'll tell what is a shame; After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, imore closes down and 40 people bother to comment. That in itself speaks volumes.

First imore announces its closure, then Linus switches to an iPhone.

What’s going on

Well, I've been busy. But make it 41 now.

Future ruined the former Mobile Nations sites with their ads, and that’s mostly why I stopped coming.

Ads was a part of it. These new “writers” was another part.

I'll make it 42.

I’m riding it out with iMore until the very end when the wheels fall off and the lights go out

iMore closing brought back memories of what I think was a lot more exciting time in the mobile tech world. I remember Android, iOS, Windows Phone, PalmOS and BlackBerry all having a place in the market. I remember buying the first Android phone in the US, the HTC Dream, and rooting it and installing custom roms. I remember the first jailbreak tools for the iphone and having to go to the library to use their wifi because we didn't have wifi at home yet. There were great podcasts covering all of these different phone OS's. The performance and hardware technology jumps from year to year aren't nearly what they used to be. I still want the newest one though. I've never been very active, but have been a member for over 14 years. It's sad to see it go but I do find myself getting my information from other sources so I'm not surprised. It was a great run.

I used to go sit on a bench in front of a Mexican restaurant for wifi.

I'll be brutally honest - I said when it was first announced that Future purchased the Mobile Nations sites, that they would ruin them. I pointed out that this is the history of Future and sadly is the typical process for them. They've purchased and ruined many amazing sites (that were favorites of mine) in the past and will sadly continue to do so.

Imore closing and Google being forced to separate google search and android. The world really is changing.

Very sad to see iMore go. I’ve been to a few of their events over the years back when Mobile Nations was in control. Met Rene and Georgia who are both awesome people. Unfortunately, iMore is just another victim of Future. That being said I will always have good memories of those at iMore I did interact with and those I didn’t you will be missed too as everyone’s work was quality which is something some of these big companies don’t seem to understand anymore.
