Has there ever been an industry that's been "enshittified" and then un-"enshittified"? (lemmy.world)

I'm thinking even for cases of like shrinkflation.

I saw an article about potentially cheaper RAM here, so it got me curious if things ever really get better on occasion.

Apple products. They were considered junk until Jobs came back and revived their style. They are currently in the round 2 of the enshitification process.

Jobs and the ipod started the entire enshittification paradigm.

Don't @ me.

Yeah, you're right, we're in round 3.

I'm not usually an apple fanboy, but it's hard to hate on the M1 MBP. I have one used (around $800) and it's still insane after all these years. Just a great laptop even today. Really hard to find anything better at that price.

Snagged an M4 air for 600USD new last year and it’s a monster. I have a bunch of Linux machines and Windows computers for games, but for general “everything use” like editing videos and images for shitposts and just doing computer stuff, it’s perfect.

It was that interval after they'd merged with NeXT but before iOS became a thing.
