Apple used to make good software/hardware. Now it is just less bad than the competition.

- ch_sm 3y agoI don’t know, their hardware is still pretty amazing — IMHO higher build quality and value for money than ever before (except RAM upgrade prices). I agree on the software. There are 1000s of tiny problems scattered across all their Mac OS apps, and it leaves a sour taste (looking at you Apple Music).
- skhunted 3y agoMy experience with air pods, as an anecdotal example, is that it’s a great product if you can get it to charge. I’ve had 3 pairs and they all had the same problem. One bud would be out of charge and the other fully charged. Sometimes neither bud would charge and getting them to charge was a pain. The connectors for charging are too small. I won’t buy their stuff accessories again. Another example is the idiotic charging of their mouse.
- foobarbecue 3y agoYeah I've had a pair of Jabra earbuds for a few years and they've been great. Giant charge contacts compared to air pods.
- _mlbt 3y agoI don’t know about you but my MacBook Pro is the computer I dreamed about as a geeky 90s kid. It’s a ridiculously fast RISC-powered UNIX workstation in portable form with all day battery life that looks sexy as hell and has a beautiful UI. Oh and it can run important commercial software like MS Office natively. The integration with the rest of the Apple ecosystem is unmatched. It’s not perfect, but there really is nothing else like it running Windows or Linux. The only thing I miss about Windows is gaming, but even that is improving on macOS lately.
