I get that you want to show your own products in their best light, but this is just petty and beneath them.
Only if you have no sense of humor :). Reminds me of how hugely offended some people were that the icon for a Windows PC in Mac OS X’s network browser was a blue screened monitor.

This is the same company that displays Windows machines it finds on the network with a Blue Screen of Death. You have to really zoom in on that icon to see it, but it's there. As a Certified Apple Fanboi(tm), such pettiness bothers me. I'd go as far as to call it unprofessional. But macOS rules and Windoze droolz, amirite?

#34For the Focus feature, I find it a bit unexpected that someone messaging me can tell if I'm Driving, Sleeping, Coding, or Reading, etc. Does anyone else find this a bit strange/awkward? I know you can turn it off (and I did) within iMessage, but it seems a bit poorly considered. Curious if people like that aspect of the feature!

If they used an XPS people might accidentally realize that you don't need a notch to put a camera at the top of your screen.
But then they'd have to show the corresponding person in the video call as being nothing but a floating nose.
Re: macOS Monterey
#36MacOS major version release are so underwhelming to me. They're not so much OS updates as they're updates to built-in apps I don't use or use at a very surface level: Safari, Facetime, Apple Maps, Messages, etc. I'm not really sure what I'd want out of a new MacOS, though. It's been stable and (for my purposes) feature-complete for many years now. I don't remember the last time a MacOS upgrade added a feature I wante…
Universal Control has potential to be valuable.
Re: macOS Monterey
#37Funny that they used a very clunky looking Windows laptop and a pretty dated looking Android phone to show off Facetime.

If we're talking about other recent releases, ARM (/iOS app interoperability) support was definitely a huge change :)
