蘋果公司高階副總裁克雷格·費德里吉（Craig Federighi）和艾迪·庫伊（Eddy Cue）出現在約翰·格魯伯（John Gruber）的播客《脫口秀》（The Talk Show）上，該節目於今天出版。兩人對蘋果的現狀、產品以及公司的發展道路有了一些有趣的見解。

讓我們從數字開始。Cue說，蘋果公司“剛剛超過1100萬蘋果音樂使用者”，這與英國《金融時報》上個月報道的“超過1000萬”的數字吻合。上個月我們在蘋果公司季度財報電話會議上得知，蘋果公司有10億個裝置在積極使用，Cue在播客中說，由於許多人擁有多個裝置，公司擁有7億8200萬個iCloud使用者。Cue稱，這些使用者每週都會向iCloud上傳數十億張照片。

在播客進行到一半時，格魯伯帶來了Verge執行編輯沃爾特·莫斯伯格（Walt Mos**erg）上週的專欄，內容涉及蘋果專有應用的功能缺陷、漏洞和效能問題。格魯伯稱之為“某種詛咒”，並說他沒有看到任何人真的不同意。這部分對話從37:38開始，但下麵是費德里吉的回答：

There’s big resp***ibility in transitioning the experiences for a lot of these apps. These are so important to people and we see it every time we change them at all. And you know there are cases where, if you look at Photos, where we did a really bold rethink of where Photos needed to go, and how to transition it. And by and large I think that’s been well-received, and I personally love it. But you’ll hear people who say "hold on," you know, "there was a reason why I liked the way things used to be." And people are pretty serious about their music, and about their collection, and so I think we talk, we debate pretty heavily internally the right way to evolve these things. And we tend to err on the side of being pretty bold, but there’s a lot of resp***ibility.

You get the other side of these stories, you know some of the people, when you talk about people nodding your head if I look at some of the comments that come online when people say "yeah Apple’s quality’s bad," and someone will say "yeah, like when they took away my iPhoto app and replaced it with Photos, I don’t like the new Photos app." And that’s why they think Apple’s software quality is bad. Now many of us would say "well hold on, no, this is exactly an example of where Apple’s software quality is quite good. We delivered something faster, cleaner, simpler." But someone’s going to say "no but it’s changed and I was attached to it." This is a tricky balancing act, and I think our customers give us a lot of resp***ibility to thoughtfully evolve their experiences, and we try to take that resp***ibility very seriously.

早些時候，格魯伯問Cue和Federighi，即將釋出的tvos9.2最終將如何將Siri語音聽寫引入蘋果電視我們想從一開始就做到這一點，”奎爾說。）格魯伯甚至對蒂姆·庫克拍下的那張現在臭名昭著的超級碗照片責怪他們兩人，然後在一些惡劣的反饋後刪除了這張照片(提示：“我覺得很好，因為它表明，你知道，蒂姆就像你和我一樣。他是一個超級體育迷，他很喜歡，他也很喜歡他的球隊贏得了超級碗。”）如果你想從蘋果公司兩位最高階別官員的口中聽到更多關於蘋果的資訊，那麼整個事件都可以在Daring Fireball聽到。
