Timeline
On January 4, 2015, Arment posted an article to Marco.org about Apple's declining software quality that unexpectedly went viral. It was picked up by Business Insider, The Huffington Post, CNN, Heise, and a televised CNBC discussion segment, among others. Arment expressed his regret in a follow-up post the next day: "You might think this is a dream come true for a blogger, but it’s horrible. Instead, I looked back at what I wrote with regret, guilt, and embarrassment." Arment expressed remorse for adding to the fear of imminent doom that regularly surrounds Apple instead of the more gradual decline in quality and constructive criticism he intended.
On September 16, 2015, Arment released Peace, a Safari content blocker for iOS 9 using the Ghostery database. After Peace had held the top spot on the App Store's list of paid apps for 36 hours, Arment pulled it from the App Store, stating he didn't "feel good" with its resounding success. He elaborated, "While [ad blockers] do benefit a ton of people in major ways, they also hurt some, including many who don't deserve the hit."

In October 2012, Arment released The Magazine, an electronic, biweekly publication. In May 2013, one month after the sale of Instapaper, Arment announced he was selling The Magazine to Glenn Fleishman, its editor.
