Scott Forestall was forced out over the Apple Maps Launch Fiasco and right after he departed we got iOS 8 APFS, Mac OS Sierra and all the issues that came with that.
They forced out all the engineers who cared about quality for brown nosing political shits who care more about pronouns and ideology like "agile" than they do good products.
Johnny Ive's departure was spun as a good thing, but the truth is, he probably couldn't stand the way the company was behaving anymore.
Apple's former airport engineers got sick of how the company was operating and formed Ubiquiti
Apple's former laptop hardware engineers formed the company Framework
Tim Cook isn't all that talented and he is running on the fumes of a CEO dead for 10 years now and the generic garbage that a chinese firm, Quanta Comptuer, produces for Apple.
Apple barely designs their own products now, and their own programmers are more busy arguing online about politics on places like "ycombinator news" and "resetera" than writing good software.
Agile development methodology is why mac os sucks more and more as of late, this is also why the windows 11 release has been disasterous. Do not enable them, refuse to upgrade.
The touchbar is just an apple watch crammed into a macbook, they did this to pay off the watch hardware development by shifting the cost onto macbook pro buyers and only got rid of it once the contract with quanta expired on the design.
customer feedback had nothing to do with it. if the touchbar or touchbar controller stops working, it bricks the machine entirely, which is unnecessary but profitable.
They broke the launchctl command from Mac os High Sierra onwards so that it can't see or disable "/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.notificationcenterui.plist", but if you remove it in recovery mode
your machine's performance will improve, because notificationcenter is garbage written by children, it's as bad as having the spotify client installed.
The same goes for the keyboards as the touchbar, they knew it would wear the machines out quicker, they just wanted to ruin the resale value of their devices.
Adhesive inside their computers is unnecessary, the batteries never needed to be glued in, they just did it to make servicing them harder and control repairs as much as possible.
Have a look at a recent model macbook air, the battery tray is metal, and it is both glued and screwed in with 4 T3 screws and 6 adhesive strips, the adhesive is not necessary but they did it anyway.
Activation locks and "find my mac" are designed to prevent second party sales of their products via most of their users being too stupid to forget to turn it off before they re-sell the device.
Mac OS Mojave can run software update if installed on a HFS partition via carbon copy cloner, apple lied about this to their customers.
APFS wears out solid state drives, that's the real reason they keep adding features to APFS, because they don't give a toss about performance and want stuff to die sooner.
Especially intel macs, they want them all to die, they're doing their best to force everybody onto M1, which is garbage.
The T2 chip was jailbroken and there's nothing Apple can do about it. They are garbage at security.
The Ai software that looks for child abuse images on recent iOS releases, was reverse engineered within hours of its initial release.
Now pedophiles can use this Ai to figure out what content is not detected or how to alter existing content to prevent detection and distribute that instead.
Netboot still technically exists as far as 2020 models, right before M1, Apple uses it for diagnostics, they could have left it in, they killed it so they could control deployment.
Considering there was a third party deployment market, some of it paid, some of it free, that's antitrust.
Apple killed netboot on their macs because they wanted to centralise control, but all it's done is piss off private organisations all over the planet and kill off deploystudio, which was a third party deployment system that was better than theirs.
Schools that use macs spend all year installing apps that would have been deployed all at once with deploystudio now, because MDM sucks.
They should have been sued for antitrust for this one alone.
