Apple does honestly make good hardware. Their transition to ARM had a near zero chance of being successful but Apple managed to pull it off anyway. It’s truly impressive.
But when they fuck up, boy do they go big. The butterfly keyboards were absolutely insane. And don’t get me started on the last years software releases. I can’t practically multitask on my iPad anymore, screen space is wasted on the MacBook in Tahoe and the finder is worse than it’s ever been. Competition is supposed to save us but Microsoft is so smitten with AI they still can’t even get their start menu to work reliably. Meanwhile linux is gaining faster than anyone thought possible. Valve is doing to gaming on Linux what Ubuntu did to teaching neurotypicals how to use Linux.
Butterfly keyboards. so saying apple is the pinnacle of hardware is stupid. They make dumb decisions just like everyone else.
