Sorry for being off topic, but I'm not finding any substance in these Apple/Mac articles or subsequent conversations we've had lately. I wanted to make a separate ask HN post for this but does anyone else feel like this website has been oversaturated pointless armchair views on The Current State of Apple™? In other words I feel as though lately this type of content has been as rubbish as say, arguing about video game consoles...
Apple is doomed, and has been for a while painted by media.<p>But what people dont realize is that news today aren't really trying to tell you the truth. ( Hence all these Fake news topic. ) They are trying to MAXIMIZE their revenue with their post. Which means A/B testing to see which ever reader likes to read, or tries to attract certain types of reader.<p>Once the topic has been beaten to death and seen reader flying away, they change the tone and paint a different picture. A different spin on the same story trying to attract readers back.<p>This is, capitalism at its best.
I just wish they'd fix the bugs. That's all.<p>It's disheartening to have Xcode crap out on me ten times a day.<p>And to have Apple Maps fail to present a keyboard when I search on my iPhone.<p>And to have Music suddenly cut in to Overcast.<p>And for the watch to start presenting directions from a week ago several times a day.<p>And for text input on a 5k iMac to regularly lag a second or more.<p>Pick your poison. I don't know if it matters or not but I don't think Steve would be OK with how bad it's become.<p>Other than that I think they're doing great. When it works it WORKS. It just doesn't seem to work that often anymore.<p>EDIT: All this is of course anecdotal and it's totally possible that quality is steady and I'm just noticing more now.<p>But, there it is, perception <i>is</i> reality.
Instead of setting a clear vision and a roadmap for innovation, they're tried to get as gimmicky as possible.<p>Was anyone else underwhelmed when "Natural Scrolling" was touted as a major feature? Seemed like a warning sign the CEO was struggling.
