There have been lots of product blunders. Maybe as many as Google has. The iPhone subsidizes it all, just like advertising does for Google, or Windows did for Microsoft, etc etc. The crappy keyboard was Johnny Ive’s idea! The world’s best industrial designer has created a completely unaccounted for liability, Apple has been trying to buy back those shitty computers now through trade ins or hopefully waiting people out, because the whole Mac unit is going to go into the red if there’s no plan to minimize, in a defiantly anti-consumer way, mass keyboard recalls. A mote of dust breaks them! The HomePod. Apple Music - but maybe all subscription music services are unsustainable and bad. A $1,000 monitor stand and $700 wheels. Aperture. Feedback Assistant. Xcode. Numbers. Messages. A camera that still doesn’t save to DNG? $3 for 100GB iCloud. The overpriced SSD storage that haunts every user in existence. Batteries that bloat; batteries that are not user replaceable; batteries that are drained when the device is using more power than the boxer adapter provides. Security through obscurity, like FaceID and the Secure Enclave. Lack of security - people’s passwords are so easy to guess, and iCloud contains everything. Apple Maps. Siri. iCloud versions of their productivity apps. Remember CloudKit? These are all from the last decade. As long as the iPhone sells none of it matters.
