I'm sympathetic to the feeling in this blog post, but not the specific examples. It's not about cost-cutting, because Tim Cook's supply-chain wrangling has resulted in us getting nicer stuff while Apple pays less. In fact, I don't think Apple hardware has ever been as high-end in terms of technology and components. But high-end != good design. Anyways, producing nice-looking stuff that doesn't work all that well has long been in the Apple DNA, I think. Anybody remember the circular Apple mouse? And who actually enjoyed using a Magic Mouse over, say, a Logitech mx518?
