> they won't capitalize the word "windows" even if it was preceded by the word "Microsoft"

Typing Microsoft Windows from my iPhone. It does capitalize it properly...




Yeah, but not when you dictate the same sentence.

My main complaint is that they insist that they own "app store" when the courts already told them that they don't.


> the people that work for Apple are so petty

Hyperbole. It's much more likely no one at Apple cares about this like you do, and it's just a simple bug; nothing malicious.


Never attribute to malice what can just as easily be attributed to incompetence (or convenient indifference, as the case may be).


Yeah sure. I suppose you’d also say that it’s simply incompetence that Apple refuses to open Google Maps, the most widely used map app, when I click on a link to somebody’s address in my contacts app. Oh and it just so happens that I can’t replace the Contacts app either.

It’s nothing less than pure spiteful pettiness.


And we'll never know which it was... Which is the deeper point.


Yup, iOS I believe learns your typings over time and chooses what you use the most. So if you talk about Windows a lot and capitalize it, it will start suggesting it, but if you talk about your house windows more, it'll lowercase it.
