Apple's Greed Is Finally Backfiring [video] (youtube.com)

I find all this hyperbolic. Apple is dying because they are the third most valuable company in the world rather than the first? That’s a hard sell for me.

I’m sure they could have done some things better but they are hardly a dying husk at this point. Many argued the same for Microsoft as Ballmer laid the foundation for Azure and Enterprise that propelled them back to the top nearly a decade later.

This is what happens when a company stops being design led and instead tries to maximize profit in all areas while sacrificing customer value.

Frankly as someone who has a new M4 MBP and had a butterfly keyboard MBP, I’m glad form is following function. I don’t care if my laptop is 1 mm thicker if the performance and reliability are better.

Obviously. Because AI.

I think of Apple as Linux (POSIX) with a decent UI. It’s not that Apple is good. It’s the alternatives that are so terrible.

On the server with no UI, Linux is the only way to fly.
