Fix that freaking keyboard FFS. Seriously. How is it that almost 20 years later it's still one of the worst parts of the iOS experience. Also, ditch liquid glass on MacOS. That sh t is so Windows 7. It wasn't cool then and it isn't cool now. What the hell are you guys doing? Copying Microsoft now? It so, outdated, slow and twitchy, makes it hard to read. There's literally no upside to it. None. Zip. Nada.
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.

It is a gimmick, not anything users as a spectrum might find favorable. And the sad thing is, that Apple is the only one with such a laughing stock of UX/UI. I am totally annoyed by the animations in Apple Notes. The icons have considerable increased in size and everything screams what a mess to me: the shadow as part of "the experience", partly rounded icons which talk more space than rectangles, hidden functions or…
> And the sad thing is, that Apple is the only one with such a laughing stock of UX/UI. Oh, give it time. We thought the same when they went flat, too.
On my Apple Watch I have regularly occurring hiccups where the whole UI freezes, especially when I go into training mode to pick an exercise. On my iPhone, after the liquid glass update, I get a noticeable slowdown and stuttering FPS when moving from the widgets screen to the first page and in other parts of UI. I'm afraid to upgrade my MacBook to the new OS, so I don't.
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.
They need to fix Mac OS first. It’s one of the worst OS I have ever used - apps keep crashing, random UI/UX glitches and bad decisions overall. I’ll probably ditch Mac if this degradation continues.
Are you primary using electron-based apps, or true native macOS apps? Maybe I’m lucky but I run macOS daily without any problems. (Yes, there’s annoying fit/finish issues in the UI - but no issues with stability)
My biggest complaint is with Firefox - it works fine on my older Mac, but crashes on Tahao and only works after a system restart.

Battery life is not remotely competitive
That said I don't have high CPU processes running all the time. If I did I imagine the battery life difference would be more of a problem.
How is it not? :-/

I'm still calling it liquid ass. The glass theme just makes things difficult to read for the sake of fashion.

I'm not defending Apple here, but have you seen how people feel about Windows 11?
I don't mind the Liquid Glass UI so much as what's happened to the macOS UX :-/
