Isn't that "should be" then?

Or perhaps even just "these are the features I personally want it to include". I'm mystified by the way the author makes the jump from "I want this" to "Apple will definitely do this".

Yes, this is a terrible clickbait headline. I opened it expecting more than some guy's wish-list.

I'm emailing your comment to the moderators so that they change it, using the footer Contact link.

Maybe it is. I feel like this is the narrative on every second cycle since 10.6 (Snow Leopard, to 10.5's Leopard), that "this" is the one where things get more reliable and nature.

This seems to be pretty deep in Apple's DNA, extending (usually) to their hardware (iPhones with "S" models, iPads seem to follow it loosely, AirPods, etc)

They used to do this with even/odd releases - one doing features, one doing bugs, but I am uncertain if they do that any more.

Things SHOULD be getting more reliable if they just keep retiring older machines :)

I have a problem on the brand new Mac (2 different ones, after getting a replacement) where USB A devices stop working every few hours and don't work until a reboot. I've tried 4 different USB hubs including Apple's own USB-C to USB-A connector. I've tried different computers, keyboards, mice. Nothing works. After about a month of back and forth with Apple, they finally admitted it was an operating system bug.

I can't debug it or even view USB requests because Apple has now locked everything down. The internal display sometimes doesn't work until I restart.

USB devices on the brand new MacBook Pro 13" do not work for more than a few hours. Apple does not care about macOS.

Here's a thread of other people with the same issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/gp5b1z/usb_20_issues_o...

Let us hope Apple finally listens ;-)

Sometimes I do get the feeling that they are listening to my thoughts.
