They did. Someone at the top has been ruining that experience lately.
I switched from Google to Apple back in 2018 and the royal fucking up lately is making me start looking at how to go back.
I’m really disappointed with the direction and lack of quality from Apple these last few years.
Same, I had been on android since the OG Droid and switched around the same time for similar reasons.
If Apple is going to charge premium prices just to splash ads on their products I’m moving on again.
The ads don’t bother me as much as the low QA lately. I upgraded to iOS26 and it’s the buggiest product ever. I have the newest iPhone pro/max and it should be able to handle it fine. Siri never works, apps crash, freeze, the interface is extremely ugly to look at (the liquid crap). Just overall it feels half assed.
Yeah, I have an iPhone 15 Pro and Safari is freezing or just not even allowing me to close windows until I restart the app sometimes. That or websites won’t load and then I restart the app and try again and they load fine.
I haven’t tried turning it off yet, but my suspicion is the Liquid Glass and all the stuff it needs to do is taking priority.
I switched in 2021. I havent noticed any fuckupery. Whats been happening ?
You can name names, it’s Tim Cook, Craig Federighi, Phil Schiller, and Greg Joswiak.
I think it’s more likely just Tim Cook. The buck stops with him. Someone needs to say no to some of this stuff (liquid glass, yearly release schedules, etc.) and that someone should have been him.
I was so hopeful they might just skip one yearly release and focus on bug fixes and technical debt. But then they go and change the name of the version to match the calendar year, and now I’m convinced we’re never going to get a stable iOS again.
