Comment Focus on gimmicks not on stability... (Score 2) 351
Long time reader here but itâ(TM)s been years since I commented. Wanted to add my opinion to this one though. The biggest problems facing Apple today and many tech companies for that matter is the release of feature enhanced hardware and software without fully vetting them out through user testing and quality assurance.
I was an Apple user since OS X was released. It is by far one of the best desktop operating systems to be release from a UX and system foundation standpoint. But over the years it has become bloated and less stable.
From a hardware perspective Apple has lost its way. For many years they were releasing rock solid machines even if they were a little pricey. But in the past it was justified by the quality of craftsmanship.
Now we have products with keyboards that fail, lack of extensiblity and features that arenâ(TM)t useful and people didnâ(TM)t want (Touch Bar for instance). The âoetrash canâ Mac Pro was awful. The current Mac book pros are junk, and they havenâ(TM)t updated some of the other lines in ages.
I recently purchased a dell xps and it is equally poor quality. Iâ(TM)m of the opinion that manufactures today simply donâ(TM)t care about quality only about margin and volume.
