From a quality standpoint Apple is a shadow of its former self. For me a large number of the more recent features in macOS and iOS don’t work reliably. Things like handoff, text message forwarding, enabling tethering from the Mac, etc. are 50/50. These kind of things used to be Apples bread and butter. Taking ideas like these and making them “just work”. And now the security regression are creeping in. I would love to see them get back to very simple product lines and a more minimalist approach to software features.

Handoff is definitely a weird one. I don't think I've ever gotten it to do anything useful. Its functionality is seemingly limited to popping up a random icon to the left of the dock from time to time to distract me.
