Apple is losing its focus again – and this time, there's no Steve Jobs

Sorry for being off topic, but I'm not finding any substance in these Apple/Mac articles or subsequent conversations we've had lately. I wanted to make a separate ask HN post for this but does anyone else feel like this website has been oversaturated pointless armchair views on The Current State of Apple™? In other words I feel as though lately this type of content has been as rubbish as say, arguing about video game consoles...

Apple is doomed, and has been for a while painted by media.

But what people dont realize is that news today aren't really trying to tell you the truth. ( Hence all these Fake news topic. ) They are trying to MAXIMIZE their revenue with their post. Which means A/B testing to see which ever reader likes to read, or tries to attract certain types of reader.

Once the topic has been beaten to death and seen reader flying away, they change the tone and paint a different picture. A different spin on the same story trying to attract readers back.

This is, capitalism at its best.

I just wish they'd fix the bugs. That's all.

It's disheartening to have Xcode crap out on me ten times a day.

And to have Apple Maps fail to present a keyboard when I search on my iPhone.

And to have Music suddenly cut in to Overcast.

And for the watch to start presenting directions from a week ago several times a day.

And for text input on a 5k iMac to regularly lag a second or more.

Pick your poison. I don't know if it matters or not but I don't think Steve would be OK with how bad it's become.

Other than that I think they're doing great. When it works it WORKS. It just doesn't seem to work that often anymore.

EDIT: All this is of course anecdotal and it's totally possible that quality is steady and I'm just noticing more now.

But, there it is, perception is reality.

If a singular visionary is what Apple needs, may be Tim Cook should give a call to Elon Musk :-)

Apple has survived MacObserver, yielding the ironic result of Apple surviving the Apple Death Knell Counter.

Instead of setting a clear vision and a roadmap for innovation, they're tried to get as gimmicky as possible.

Was anyone else underwhelmed when "Natural Scrolling" was touted as a major feature? Seemed like a warning sign the CEO was struggling.
