What happened to quality
I used to be the biggest Apple fan, I have an iPhone, Apple Watch, MacBook, iPad, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, Apple TV, HomePod & even AirTags & a bunch of MagSafe accessories, but lately I just notice the quality of Apple’s software has been going down, things no longer “just work”. Here are just some of the issues I’ve been having with my Apple products
iPhone - can’t read SIM card, can’t update iOS, back camera freezes, flashlight doesn’t work, shuts down when it gets too hot, randomly gets stuck in standby mode with no way to exit other than restarting the phone
AirPods Pro - right ear transparency mode doesn’t work, software popup view does not work
AirPods Max - choppy connection when my phone is more than 3 feet away (putting it in my pocket), software popup view does not work
MacBook Air - Gets hot for no reason when I only have 3 safari tabs open, screenshare on FaceTime doesn’t work sometimes, requiring a full restart of the MacBook to fix
HomePod - Randomly disconnects & wont reconnect without a full reset, Siri activates at random times unprompted, music starts playing at random times unprompted, AirPlay sometimes doesn’t connect or is extremely laggy
And not to mention the new liquid glass that barely even follows Apple’s own human interface guidelines
Apple really needs to step up their game & get back on the right track
