I get it that he's ranting, but there's nothing new here. Apple software quality started to go downhill a long time ago, and now their hardware is catching up.

I get it that he's ranting, but there's nothing new here. Apple software quality started to go downhill a long time ago, and now their hardware is catching up. It makes sense because hardware has a longer lead time. Anybody who disagrees can try explaining the mess that iTunes has become, or why I have to reboot both my phone and laptop (almost) every time I try tethering.

For what it's worth, I don't think I really remember iTunes ever being remotely good. I remember being forced to use it when I got my first iPod over a decade ago and it was an awful bloated mess which couldn't deal with my mp3 collection properly (~50+GB at the time). I could count on it to just corrupt or reformat my iPod, crash, hang or corrupt the library at least once a month. It left a very bad taste in my mouth and I have not purchased Apple hardware or software since.
