Same thing happens to me every time i try an Android phone.
Although i usually last 6 months and try to break old habits first.
It's just a matter of preference.

Crackberries. Some parents were so addicted to their Blackberry phones, they'd ignore their own children. Look at how all of that was washed away. Hubris is all it takes to erode success. Everything Steve built the first time was nearly washed away too.
That's cause all those ungodly folks are good at stopping unions
Ungodly bad software. Put profits into orbit while simultaneously torpedoing the user experience.
Quite the achievement.

He certainly is a great CEO like Nadella and Pichai, but I don’t think they are the ones who sent their companies into the stratosphere. They took the lead when the “travel to the stars” had already begun.

If you think people buy iPhones only because they don't know better, you are either failing to understand the iPhone itself or why many people buy them, or both.
Check out what Charlie told Elon a few years ago. He’s not always right.
But I agree that Apple is well managed. The only problem is there does not appear to be passion anymore.

Apple treats their employees very well and there’s a bunch of professionalism in corporate as well as their stores. Amazon is ungodly disorganized. In their warehouse’s they make terrible decisions because the manager’s hide behind a computer all day long rather than physically looking at the scenario. Amazon also treats their employees like crap.

Steve Jobs was not against a stylus, he was against an interface where you had to use a pen/stylus to navigate it. If Jobs were still around he would have hailed the Apple Pencil as the best thing since sliced bread and everyone would have ate it up. But that’s because there’s a cult around Steve Jobs. He could sell dog poop and someone would buy it.
Having a preference has nothing to do with "knowing any better".
Apple made it after Steve, apple will make it after Tim.
As far as unionization apple might not have a choice, however it will turn those jobs into true dead end jobs.
Apple is definitely a great company and it is very well managed. Under Tim, Apple has reached new heights.
You mean a company set to profit off an increase in share price is saying things that would increase the share price? Shocking.
Shocking is right. A company that has a huge stake in a valued company saying a positive thing about the company? Unheard of.
I've been a long time Mac user and had to move to PC, then around 10 years ago we bought all iMacs for our small business and never looked back. Apple used to be very innovative and they still are - but I recall reading an important part in Steve Job's book - he said that he learned a lot about timing - so he feel back into innovation. If we look back over 10 years, we can see better what apple did to improve technology for both our lives and work $$. It's taken tons of stress of my business as things just work all the time, so if I'm not stressed because of a computer, my life has improved, if I'm not stressed, more clients want our services which translates to more money.
Everyone's life is better on apple.
Just my two cents.
The sky is usually blue, water is wet, my wife nags me to death daily. All probably true but irrelevant to the point I was making. Good life advice: give credence to who is saying something before what it is they are saying.
Spot on!
And testament to that assesment are Apple's many millions of customers, many repeat, who willingly open their wallets and pay premium prices for Apple products and services, producing record revenues for the company. Year after year after year.
The market has spoken. Those who are unhappy with Apple's success will continue to whine in order to find a bit of joy in their lives to latch onto.

Except for when it doesn't. Last year, I had to wipe my iPad Pro and set it up as a new device after my Apple Pencil just stopped connecting out of the blue.
Really? That’s odd. Except for when I broke the charging portion off the first gen model I’ve never had an issue with the product.
Yup. Never had any issues with it before or since, but this was a pretty annoying one as issues go. Honestly, I’m not sure if it was a bug on the iPad side or the pencil side either (not that it really matters in practice).
Nothing pisses me off more then having to factory reset any of my devices. We had reset our fridge(yes, really) recently and it gave me a few moments of reflection on how far we have come.
I take it you disagree with these things? How about whether Apple is well managed, which is actually the point of this article? Just so you know, and I know it is difficult for people to appreciate in this day and age, but attacking the man does not undermine the argument.

Going out on a limb here. You probably don’t own a MacBookPro with M1 pro or max. Because everything about the machine is as Apple used to be. And then some.
