Yeah everyone complains about how Apple don’t “innovate” but currently they are just focussing on making the best consumer hardware of all time. Don’t get me wrong I dislike them for other reasons but those reasons are mainly things Jobs pushed for decades ago. An Apple fan should love the current Apple

They also had a record breaking quarter for their services, when streaming services everywhere are bleeding out

Yeah I guess it’s been a while since their last iPhone moment but that entire decade was just one revolution after another for every segment of tech, and Apple came out on top

With their in-house chips they’re going to do fine for AI, even if they need to partner with someone else on it

Yes, but what use is the best consumer hardware when the software is degrading?

Considering the liquid glass thing, there's no one at Apple left who understands and cares about usability, for example.

Plus the iOSification of Mac OS for no good reason... maybe to make it less attractive to developers?

This. A good device is a combination of hardware and software. If one of those is lacking, the whole product is lacking.

I won't deny that Apple's hardware is great, but the software has been severely crippled by commercial rather than technical reasons. People have to go out of their way to glimpse outside the walled garden.
