Totally agree. The m series chips were not only good, but the transition went perfectly. There were a hundred different ways this should have gone wrong. It went great. Credit where it’s due, Apple were the only to ones to pull that off. Microsoft is still spinning their wheels.
The Vision Pro? Flop. Expensive, never found a niche. Really cool device but it never solved a problem for anyone.
Apple Watch? Had potential but they kept changing focus and now it’s just a heartbeat monitor that gives notifications. App development on them stalled out. It stagnated.
Mouse? Mouse.
Keyboards? They killed butterfly finally but that’s just going back to what was already fine.
MacOS is just fucking ugly and hard to use. They broke their own visual design rules to make things clunky and weird.
iPad is useless. Simple app split screen is a pain to use now and why are they applying desktop elements to it? There’s a reason that wasn’t done in the first place.
iPhone is actually doing fine though the AI shit is obnoxious and by now they should have had an answer to Samsung dex.
Airport was idiot proof wifi they killed for no damn reason.
All of this to serve shareholders and not users, then talk down to those of use displeased by it with the Tonedeaf statement “we think you’ll love it.”
