I agree with your assessment of the situation. Apple products are actually functionally worse than they used to be. Think about that - would you buy a car that did not work as well as your old one?
I differ on the cause, however. Steve Jobs was an artist - a product artist. There was a team in place that balanced his vision with an ability to execute. That is not true anymore.
It is one of the more interesting things to think about: how do you produce an iPod versus a Zune? Or what a Mac versus what we have now.
Personally, I don't think the issue is they don't give a damn, I think they don't have a clue as to how to give a damn.
- mberning 8y agoThe product lines are a lot less focused than they used to be, especially on the mobile side. It hurts the software side as well supporting so many different configurations. Many things that were introduced years ago still do not work properly, like handoff, continuity, and other related features.
- talkingtab 8y agoExactly! Apple now thinks feature announcements are the equivalent of success. And perhaps to investors, it is. But to users it actually sort of matters whether the thing makes their lives better.
