This is such a tired internet trope.
They recently switched their entire product line over to their own silicon resulting in life-changing performance and efficiency improvements. If you're already an apple user, have you forgotten what even the last generation of Intel pros was like? Hot laps, 2 hour battery life, and fans spinning loudly. I have barely heard my fans or felt heat on my M2 Max laptop since I got it. And have the battery life to actually be away from a plug all day. Their software is just good enough. I can't remember the last time the entire OS crashed and had to be rebooted. They manage to freshen up the UI just a little each year with fairly minimal changes that require relearning how to do basic things so often. That's probably why my 75 y/o grandma can text and FaceTime me completely by herself, the phone UI has remained consistent enough she was able to memorize it and use it without help
Even today I'm eyeing a new watch because their materials teams are killing it with Titanium. My old watch is about 4 years old without a discernible scratch on its face.
Apple is making great products, and it's really cool if other companies are catching up, that's what apple needs to compete harder.

Ollama went into a loop and the fan started spinning after a couple minutes. It still took me a few more minutes to realise it was spinning though as it's nearly whisper silent!
