Good article by Jason Snell at Macworld about how Apple’s previous playback is in conflict with recent products like the Vision Pro and Apple Intelligence. Also this bit about how Apple’s culture is still in the 1990s despite their massive success:

"Today’s Apple is a titan, but it still behaves like it’s a put-upon underdog in danger of being taken advantage of by the cold, cruel world."

I’m sure I’ve blogged the same thing. I still think we hit peak Apple about a year ago. https://www.macworld.com/article/2577072 https://www.manton.org/2024/05/15/a-couple-months.html
