It was slower and it cost more ... both are not the fault of the customer.

apple did improve the speed in later versions but customers voted with
their wallets and aperture ultimately was canceled.

Apple originally asked $500, while Adobe started at $300. Sure, Apple
later cut their price...but so too did Adobe.

It’s utterly shocking that discerning customers chose cheaper AND better
over just having an Apple logo.

And this pattern is par for Apple, unfortunately: whenever their products have to
compete on actual merit and price instead of the prestige of the logo...they lose.
