>Apple has been known for its attention to detail in the past and it has served them well This was true 15 years ago and not today. I tried to sync my mom’s photos on her iPad with her Mac when I visited a few days ago, and was unable to accomplish the task in the time I was there. I had to do a software update for the Mac to talk to the iPad, which didn’t necessarily fail, yet never succeeded either, just had a 100% complete loading bar indefinitely. No feed back, nothing. Bad UX. Restarted many times. At one point I thought I bricked her computer because it wouldn’t boot. Maybe I’m not that smart, but should I need to be intelligent to use Apple products? I think what’s different is who is screwing up software today. Apple used to be great at UI/UX. Ironically the best UI/UX I use today is Gnome3 on Debian, and I like Windows 10 more than OS X now. That would have been unheard of in Apple’s prime. This was the opposite 10 years ago. You could find bad examples of software gore in the previous era. I think this is cyclical, there’s just more consequences now than before.
