Yeah after the 5 years where their main laptop model had a keyboard that became unresponsive within weeks, had a charger and power system that couldn’t even cold boot the machine it needed to sit there and pre-charge before it could boot itself, ran hot, ran slow, ran noisy.

I know we all love the post-M1 MacBooks but it’s increasingly obvious that machine is the exception to the decline of everything else including the laptop line until M1 redesign saved it.



While they definitely had or have organizational problems (which organization does not?), it seems quite hyperbolic to state

>decline of everything else

They were still pumping out very usable AirPods/Apple TV/Watch/Phone/Macbook Airs/Air Tags.

Siri sucks (always has), and they have had some big misses, but the stuff that 90% of the population uses 90% of the time chugs along perfectly fine.
