Apple is always beleaguered. Apple has always had hardware issues and software issues from time to time. Apple has always had the occasional product mis-step. Have people forgotten the G4 Cube? The white plastic MacBook? The 17" MBP GPU recall? What about iCloud CoreData? MobileMe? The iTunes installer bug that nuked your home directory?
There is a super-serious case of rose-tinted glasses going on here. I think you're right - this is just the herd trying to decide which new opinion to coalesce around.
iCloud Photo Library works and works reliably for me every day. Apple Maps has much higher resolution satellite photos of SF than Google Maps and its transit directions are superior, giving specific exit numbers. The new MBP has a wicket fast storage subsystem, something that will make far more difference to far more people than a hypothetical 32GB of RAM.
I don't buy the doom and gloom.
- SocratesV 10y agoAnd a +1 here. Would just add that we also need to look at the offer of product lines that Apple provides to better understand their decisions. Also, IMO, people are becoming more and more desensitised, always expecting big leaps in innovation and specs and not noticing the small steps, cornerstones of the vision Apple has for its user's experience.
- addicted 10y ago"I live in San Francisco and I have no problems at all with my Macs" sounds like an explanation of all the problems with the Mac.
- dagw 10y agoI don't buy the doom and gloom. Agreed. Even as someone rather disappointed with the new MBPs, I don't think for a second that this will have slightest effect on Apple's long term health.
