Brace yourselves, fanboys. Winter is coming. And the iPhone X can't handle the cold

You can't solve the sex/race equality difference quickly.

Companies can only work with what they are given as input.

STEM graduates are still predominately male, not necessarily white male, but more likely white male or Asian male than any other. I base that on personal experience so no Wikipedia reference, but it seems to be true to me.

We need to fix things at a lower lever (AKA younger age) to make a long term difference.

Successful companies are a meritocracy (at least at the lower levels, I'll exclude the likes of Jony Ive and Tim Cook) so you can't just push people who aren't qualified or experienced up the ladder.

My personal experience of the few women and people of colour I work with is that their talents are largely in line with the general expectations. So neither better or worse, just equally valuable if the opportunities and motivation align to get them in to the job.

But still, the OLED isn't to blame here and I'm struggling to see how a an OS update is going to fix that problem.
