I'd bet you money within 5 years Apple will continue following Microsoft (after metro) and try "merging" macOS and iOS together into one OS, most likely iOS.

This is a good thing for the software ecosystem

That would be the case if they would expand iOS feature set to be closer to Mac, and not the other way around.

Why do they even need to release a major version every year? Whats the point?

For the hardware, i get it, but the OS doesnt really drive sales, and if you have the pressure of releasing new amazing features every year then maintenance and bugs get left behind, and you end up in the situation that we have now…

Would like to switch to Linux but hardware/laptop options are horrible compared to MacBook M series machines.

I have used Thinkpads for over a decade and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. I can't imagine any scenario where a MacBook M chip would be required to be productive, it feels like a weird hill to die on.

Extremely noisy, flimsy keyboard, atrocious touchpad, rip-my-eyes out display.

ThinkPad T14s is silent, keyboard is known as one of the best across all laptops even if it has got thinner. Trackpoint is there for a reason. The display I will grant you, it is not as amazing as Apple's. But I'm using my laptop to code not watch movies.

I hope they invest some time in macOS, gosh it's become a right mess over the last 3-5 major releases - Tahoe is the worst of the bunch.

Macs make up 8% of Apple's revenue. That entire product line is basically a hobby compared to iPhone and its ecosystem.

They’re also what everyone uses to build software for the iOS ecosystem.

This is amazing. Once a company that built its reputation on quality and performance wants to focus on that. iOS became a parody of itself. 26 feels like a cheap knockoff of an iOS. Hundreds of people get paid to enshitify experience for millions of users. That’s incredible. And then they simply say that yeah you know it’s time to work on quality and performance. Isn’t it what always had to be there in the first place? Ridiculous.

The number one priority must surely be fixing the keyboard, besides the horrible UX? Millions are having problems for years so it's not just me, honestly thought i was "getting old" but no incredible amount of threads and now this on YT with 1 mil views: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hksVvXONrIo Wild typing on a 3210 was less stressful for me.

Oh wow!

I thought it was just me!

I through I’m just getting stupider and stupider with each day. I even started to reset my iOS keyboard autocorrect dictionary or whatever-magic-learning they do to fix this, but eventually will still mistype words.

Thank you for this video, it really made me feel that I’m not alone in this struggle of typing.

Finally, confirmation that I’m not going mad! I remember when I got my first iPhone, back in the day, and demoing to a friend how it was almost impossible to misspell something when typing fast. That is just not the case now. Typing performance has got worse and worse.

Just typing out this comment has been infuriating.

I don’t usually complain about UX issues because I’m not bothered by small things. I can’t recall having a problem with ios before ios26, when the screenshot tool stopped showing the screenshot after you took one. Instead it would automatically save it to the gallery, which is not what I wanted.

The workaround for this bug was to lock and unlock the screen. Not the worst thing, but it indicated a shocking lack of give-a-fuck in Cupertino. This is one of the most basic flows, which they shipped in a broken state.
