I'm sure you appreciate that this is all a little subjective though. force-touch touchpads are so useless than not even them use the technology to any meaningful extent I love this technology. Use it literally every day! the Touchbar is completely useless, and anecdotally people stop using it after a few days See above :) I quite enjoy the UX of this, especially for things like trimming video, brushed in Photoshop, stuff like that… basically gauges and pallets work quite well! - their new butterfly keyboards are a nightmare to type on (albeit that's definitely subjective), and stop functioning with dust particles, and they haven't even acknowledged the problem before being hit with 2 class actions First point is subjective as you say (and personally I now find the old keyboards weird and mushy!) Breakdown does appear to be an issue, though. they've removed all useful ports from their laptops Could have retained the HDMI I guess, but I reckon most people probably didn't use much other than that! Bit of a downgrade though, agreed. Basically, I think the "shitshow" of recent Apple devices has been a tad overstated by some people. I get that not everybody's going to be happy with those design decisions… but I don't think it's quite as "sky is falling" as we often hear.
