I've been at Apple for 20 years now, and I've received stock every single year. A fair amount of it, actually.

If you don't accept that people new to something will make mistakes, then you're not going to get very far. Steve changed as much as Apple did over the years, and mostly for the better.

Can you please fix CoreBluetooth? It desperately needs async-await APIs :)

Also a non-location-permissions-based bluetooth background wakeup mode would be amazing

While we're at it, not locking new Swift features behind iOS X would be incredible. WWDC each year is basically "here's all the stuff you can use in 3-4 years when you can up the min-spec iOS"

Funnily enough, my ability to change things is limited to the scope within which I work :) Sadly, none of the above fall within my purview...

Darn, well it was worth a shot! If you happen to know people who might work in those areas feel free to pass along the request :)
