This isn’t the Apple I remember. Product integration falls apart at every seam, but don’t worry—we’ve got plenty of impressive technical documentation to compensate. I’m sure Jobs would be thrilled to see his ‘it just works’ philosophy replaced with ‘it barely works, but here’s a 50-page PDF explaining why.
The philosophy is the same, and since it was never implemented in the mythical era of Jobs, so is the practice. So he'd be as thrilled as he was back then?
What I don't understand is how this happened. What really has changed at Apple in the last decade?
As someone that was around in the days of Apple before bankruptcy, the same, there is no Jobs more around, and is getting back to Gil Amelio kind of Apple.
Tim Cook might be better at squeezing the juice, but he is not a product person.
This time around they need another solution, otherwise regardless of how much money they have, they will stay as the iOS/iPad company, given the relevance of macOS on desktop market worldwide.
I think that iOS 7 theme update caused their brains to rot.
