Let me just preface this with a few points:
- I have zero issue with OS X becoming more iOS-like, or even iOS-based(which was OS X based originally - Nothing wrong with leapfrogging).
- I have zero issue with apple dropping legacy support, ports, etc. This is why I love Apple. I don't care that my 3.5mm headphones may become useless in future. As long as there are major benefits by dropping the port.
- There is no better ecosystem to be in than the apple ecosystem.
I'm just numb at this point in regards to Apple. I see the same old OS X with the same old dock and menubar, with the same old handful of iOS features poorly strapped to OS X in a way that minimises work for the devs. This gives me no confidence that bugs are going to be fixed in OS X 10.12. Clearly a skeleton crew B team has been working on iOS and OS X for many years now. I just hope what the A Team are working on does not have bugs, and comes out before 2020.
I have a 4K iMac, iPhone 6S Plus, iPad Pro, Apple Watch, Apple TV.
Every day i battle bugs on all these devices. None of their stuff seems finished anymore. Everything seems rushed. There is very little attention to detail in UI.
My 4K iMac is like a watching a slideshow when there are animation effects on screen.
Clinking links on my iPhone now takes a few goes as i battle the force touch gimmick (app icon shortcuts are great though)
iOS on my iPad Pro has always felt like an alpha version, not in regards to missing "pro" features, but in regards to bugs.
I love my Apple watch. Apple Watch Apps are useless. Sometimes my watch crashes. Like once a week.
I reported many bugs in Yosemite betas. None of them have been fixed.
All my devices have recently been formatted, and betas haven't touched any of them since. Yet they all feel like Alpha versions.
How is iTunes still a thing?
Whoever is the first mainstream Apple Journo to start rationally talking about apple gets my respect.
At the moment they all just jerk each other off on Slack and then all go to their sites and write the same exact ****.
I think Gruber is senile at this point.
