Oh for sure, I used to still think they had the design DNA but nope... it's definitely gone.

It's almost as if, top-notch attention-to-detail doesn't scale automatically. Your company going from $4B->$40B->$400B->$2T is going to evolve culturally speaking, and it seems the effort to instill quality over the bottom $line is simply not possibly unless you choose to "leave money on the table".

I've noticed Apple does best PR wise when they do the latter, but it's hard for me to find examples of them doing that recently.

I have heard reports from current and former Apple staff of a brain drain in progress there.

It's not really a great place to work.
