I think you're missing the point. We all looked to Apple for technical, user-focused innovation.. now all we're getting is a good-looking and expensive things that's best sold in a jewelers shop.
I really can't see this working out for them in the long run. (In the short term, sure.)
- micaksica 10y agoI believe that you are taking too much stock in believing that you and your needs are Apple's primary market now. Software developers are but a small niche compared to Apple's worldwide consumer base, and they are developing for their market at large, that buys these products for the social signaling and never use 30% of their capabilities. They want good looking and expensive things, and the capabilities of the devices Apple is producing is an improvement over the last iteration as well as still above the common consumer's resource consumption to start.
- johansch 10y agoI'm not speaking as a software developer now. I think it's an established fact that "normal" people love (loved) Apple products because they "just work" (worked). The prettiness is a nice bonus, but they key thing was always the concept of "things just working". I now see Apple moving their focus from "just working" to "pretty", while raising prices.
