Apple isn't losing a war of words, it's getting its ass kicked in software. Just about everybody agrees that Android is now evolving faster than iOS. Many of their recent app releases have been mediocre or downright bad, and they still haven't really figured out how to run robust and reliable cloud services. Crucial new iOS APIs like AutoLayout are an absolute design-by-committee trainwreck.
Their hardware is still excellent if perhaps too conservative but I'm bearish on Apple mainly because I just don't see any evidence of the kind of software engineering discipline that's necessary to compete with Google.

And Apple competes with Google just fine.
- cageface 14y agoI actually really like Apple's hardware and their core frameworks + Cocoa are mostly excellent. But I see bad policies and bad management steering the company in exactly the wrong direction so I speak up about it instead of dogmatically defending them at every turn.
