This is a great round-up, and it isn’t hard to spot the main themes-great hardware, absolutely damning feedback on software quality on so many aspects (from the Liquid Glass Tsunami to people straight out avoiding installing Tahoe) that I cannot help but agree on (especially considering my current travails).
The best possible outcome from this is that Apple backtracks on the mess they created last year.
The most likely one is that they will simply carry on without acknowledging any of it publicly and discreetly patch the most critical issues, because they are still making tons of cash on hardware and services and software quality really hasn’t been a priority in half a decade.
At this point, I am even starting to question if they still have the talent (or the ability to retain it), especially considering that the people from most startups they’ve acquired over the years keep leaving. And I know for a fact that they stopped recruiting remotely a few years ago, which definitely hasn’t helped.
