Microsoft recently showed that it has a good ear for its user base by bringing back a number of features that were going to be removed from Windows 11 File Explorer. The IT giant had initially intended to modernize File Explorer’s UI, but after criticism from the public, they changed their minds. This instance demonstrates the mutually beneficial relationship between software developers and users, reiterating the value of user feedback in the development of new software.

Users’ unhappiness with the significant update to Windows 11’s File Explorer caused Microsoft to rethink its choices. The “hidden folder merge conflict” feature was initially in jeopardy. This utility assists in avoiding inadvertent overwrites by alerting users when a folder or file with the same name already exists.

Among the functions, “Hide files protected by the operating system” is quite important since it aids users in resolving situations in which hidden files or folders impede administrative activities.

Apple has a history of innovation, so despite the first disappointment with the iPhone 14, it is probable that the corporation will accept this criticism. It will be interesting to see how Apple approaches the difficulty of satisfying ever changing consumer expectations while upholding its reputation for quality in the future.

The iPhone 14 deviates from Apple’s custom and displeases customers with what they consider to be a lack of innovation. However, this setback serves as a crucial reminder that, in today’s technology-driven world, even giants like Apple must constantly develop to meet the expanding demands and expectations of their user base.

        Honestly I feel like ChatGPT would’ve done a better job, at least not pivoting halfway to Apple.
