Apple Isn’t as Perfect as It Once Was, and I’m Noticing It Everywhere

Summary
Over the years, the writer has noticed several changes to the Apple brand and ecosystem which they feel have been for the worst, and which threaten to undermine their once loyal customer basis.
While the attention to detail was once a marker of Apple’s products and software, this no longer seems to be the case, with the writer specifically referencing iOS 18 and the Photos app, which they feel has tried to prioritise form over function, making it a mess.
They feel Apple has desperately needed an iOS 12-style update, prioritising stability over new features, for some time, and even goes as far as to say they will likely switch to Android.
They reference Apple Intelligence, announced in June 2023 alongside the Vision Pro headset, and suggest that while Apple may be making moves towards AI, it is still playing catch-up to competitors Google and Samsung, who already offer more AI-powered features, and since Apple doesn’t offer anything unique in this field, it only seems to be trying to match its competitors, rather than staying ahead.
