To be fair, once we reduced electronics to black slabs and tiny earbuds there’s not much more we can revolutionize

We could have not done that, or we could have at least made the software better.

I remember thinking things like rollable screens and shit would be fun, but even that shit no one wants to risk anymore

That's why I'm confused by this article. It just seems like attacking Apple for the sake of attacking Apple. I say this as someone who used to be a Apple hater because Apple products were far more expensive than their competitors (now everything is just expensive) and I couldn't afford them back then.

People expect constant revolutionization, but 1) that's not feasible and 2) what are they looking for exactly? What do they want to see done?

People say how bad the software has gotten on Mac, but I don't see it. Sure, they have bugs around the time the next big OS update rolls out (much like any other OS including both Windows and Linux), but 1) you don't have to upgrade to the latest version as soon as it updates and 2) they fix the bugs soon after that.

The only good point the article seemed to have is the Apple Vision Pro VR part, I will agree with them on that. Other than that, it seems just like an attack article, and done by anger, and like fair enough, but that doesn't mean they don't have good products.

I dunno, this is probably an unpopular opinion anyway, and I never expected I would be an Apple defender in this sense, and I don't even have an iPhone because I prefer Android's development ecosystem, and on my PC I have been daily driving Linux for the past 9 years anyway.
