“That’s probably enough about Apple. They forgot about good design a long time ago” A few years ago it was anathema to say this, even as a designer yourself — how could you even think of beginning to criticize Apple?! But now people and the press are coming to terms with reality. I honestly don't understand how they can fail so badly with the bazillion dollars at their disposal (MacBook keyboards, phone notches and bumps, mouse charging port underneath, the power pack for phones... etc., etc., not to mention software issues). It's mind-numbing and such a disappointment that they greenlight blatant mistakes and proceed on to selling them for an embarrassing premium. Apple made a huge ton of cash since <insert major event>, coasting on their hard-won reputation's inertia; but there's a reckoning coming if they don't sort their internal mess. Virtually any major tech is miles and leaps beyond in almost every respect, except profitability. For how long, though?
