Isn't that telling in some ways though? Apple has made some wrong steps lately, in some people's eyes. Will there eventually be enough people changing to make Apple get concerned? We'll have to wait and see.
I'd argue that they're no different in all honesty. It's taken them a while, but the likes of Lenovo and Dell have upped their game, so what were once niggles with Apple's offereings appear worse. I've been an Apple user for close to 30 years and the issues we're seeing are nothing in comparison to the Performa days.
As for removing and changing ports etc., they've always done it. Long may it continue as it more often than not forces industry changes for the better.
People won't abandon Apple in droves unless the media start trashing them to the same degree they've been praising them. They've effectively given Apple billions in free advertising over the years, so I'd guess it would take a lot of trashing.
