That wasn’t my point. Apple makes wrong moves like any other company, and I’ve written my share of criticism, but always only after being briefed, or touching first hand. What I was lamenting is the custom of writing long pensive pieces of punditry with absolutely no previous expertise on Apple, not knowing the company well enough to go past the marketing smoke screen, and, above all else, with no direct experience whatsoever of the product you’re criticizing.

Edit: by the way, it’s maybe not a product per se, but the switch to Arm with Apple Silicon is a feat no other company has ever achieved with this degree of complexity and with this degree of success. If I had to pick a move defining the legacy of post-Jobs Apple, the transition is certainly up there.
