Before this generation of Apple products, I found their product shortcomings so minor that I wouldn't consider switching. I think I'll always favor apple products but I'm definitely loving them less than I always have.
- If you buy a new macbook and a new iPhone, you can't physically connect them
- If you buy standard aux headphones, you have to keep track of the tiny dongle
- You can't charge your iPhone while using wired headphones
- No more Macsafe chargers which have saved me so many times
- A touchbar that I'm sure I could get used to, but haven't seen a compelling use case yet
Unlike some others, I'm not pushed to the point of leaving Apple. I just don't want to buy the new gen and hope that they can refocus on creating great experiences that doesnt involve friction like the above changes do.
