Maybe just put Apple out of your mind and don't get so angry about it. They're clearly not trying to compete for your business / segment of the market.
I still feel good about iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch at this moment. However, everything else hardware wise feels like a disaster to me. I mean where is the home pod mini? Homekit will never be taken seriously or as useful as Google Home and Alexa, until Apple finally releases smaller, less expensive smart speakers. "Hey Siri" just doesn't work well on current Apple devices.
And let’s not get into the overpriced input devices. Wobbly keys and a mouse designed much like the furniture at the start of Men in Black.
Gah I’ve just convinced myself to sell the Mac mini and the iMac I already have now. And probably the iPad I’m whining about this on. Yes I’m a member of the cult. I have a whole cupboard of white boxes. But the pc pays the bills.
