I want to say something positive, but it's just darkness ahead. The future is as follows: Apple will listen to feedback about touch screen issues. They will earnestly try to fix it, by bloating up the entire macOS to be increasingly touch-friendly. It is year 2032 and we will reminisce about the days when macOS was primarily designed for mouse & click. It's over folks...
I am desperately rooting for Apple and I hope they disprove my thesis.

I understand the hate on the 2026 touchscreen Macbook Pros. The issue with the new touchscreen MacBook Pro is not the touch capability itself. It is Apple removing customer choice.
By eliminating a non touchscreen tier, Apple has just pushed baseline prices up across the board. If your daily production setup lives on external monitors, keyboards, and precision trackpads, you are forced to subsidise hardware you will actively avoid smudging.

Il MacBook touch è immondo, ma non è neanche il problema più grosso della Apple di oggi
1. Almeno gli ultimi 2 iOS e macOS pubblicati sono immondi e non sembra ci sia alcuna intenzione di sistemarli
2. Tra Spotlight, Siri e anche App stupide come le impostazioni di sistema ci sono problemi enormi e ignorati da anni
3. La superiorità schiacciante che ha sull'hardware li ha resi compiacenti e quindi continuano a fare cagate
4. Non c'è all'orizzonte neanche un concorrente credibile, almeno sul segmento PC
5. Anche tenendo conto di quanto orribile sia diventato il software, non c'è un concorrente
Ora, l'umanità ha forse l'ultima chance di salvarsi grazie all'AI. Una roba come omarchy ci avrebbe messo anni a svilupparsi, ora ci mette meno. Speriamo.
Tuttavia, anche su questo ultimo punto c'è qualche problema: l'entusiasmo è sempre a palla quando fai cose nuove e diventa inevitabilmente meno quando invece devi fare tweak minori e manutenzione. Speriamo non sia così.
"Ma puoi non usarlo il touchscreen" è una roba che può funzionare se state parlando di Lenovo. Apple esiste e ha sempre comandato dei prezzi relativamente alti perché l'azienda faceva delle scelte più intelligenti di quelle che avresti fatto tu.

Идеальное дополнение к твиту про Apple в этом году
Поражён тем, как Apple сама захлопнула для себя ловушку.
Сделала телефон за 2000 долларов, который в первые дни побежали покупать блогеры ради хайпа.
И именно эти блогеры теперь максимально охватно разносят брак экрана.
Даже если там 1% брака (что много по меркам Apple), это миллионы просмотров с негативом…
И ещё такой явный, характерный брак — сначала заедает шарнир, а потом после открытия убивает экран.
Ещё и Тернус со своим интервью Time, где он как бы и всё по делу сказал, но на самом деле создал почву для атак на бренд.
В этом году какое-то странное ощущение от Apple: много компромиссов в продуктах (не как обычно, а заметных и понятных массам), много скучных обновлений (Apple TV, 18 Pro Max и HomePod mini, iPad mini — I sleep) и совершенно дурацкий HomeView.
Печально это всё

I have sold all my Apple stocks.
I think Apple is at the point where Nokia and blackberry were before the iPhone.
It’s inevitable to me that one of the AI labs will replace traditional operating systems with an AI-based one within the next one or two years.

I keep telling this to every developer I know
if you run npm install on your bare macbook in 2026 you are waiting to be pwned
you need to develop inside a container
one bad vscode extension, one poisoned crate, and every credential on your machine is gone. that's not even paranoia anymore, it's just the baseline
apple/container spins up light linux vms on apple silicon
so I’ve updated my agent skill remote VMs setup and management to support local ones
use /remote-computer, create a local apple container for multi-language development
it sizes the VM to your CPU/RAM/disk, sets up key-only SSH on a host-only IP, no published ports, no home dir mount, and ports your git identity and commit signing. also works with AWS and GCP VMs

apple has introduced a new input modality on the mac without demonstrating a compelling new interaction model to pair with it at all or even any meaningful changes to the user interface for touch.
that has never ever happened in the history of apple, & that has got to send shivers down the spine of anyone following the company.
worse, there is no face id, there is no cellular connectivity, & there is no meaningful new design. what is happening?! i am completely lost.

Somebody said that Apple is in their Taco Bell era where they're just smashing together random leftover parts from other devices and naming them things like "Phonedito Supreme Crunch" and it's the perfect analogy. Here slap a touch screen on this, charge $4k and call it a Maclupa
This. I don't want Apple to release a single new product before they add a god fucking smart rotation lock to iOS, god dammit.
I’ve been an Apple fanboy for over 20 years. Bought the first iPhone, iPad, iPods, etc.
I am thoroughly unimpressed with their most recent products. No interest in a foldable phone, touchscreen Mac, or a slight bump in performance for the iPhone.
Steve Jobs knew that specs don’t sell new products. Solving people’s problems does.
Between these very bad products and their general lack of AI support it may be time to move on. To what is the question.

It feels like Apple has hit the point where it’s just a giant corporation. No sign of any internal mission to leave the world better than how they found it.
Just random products. Gap filing.
Not loving this era.

A new #Quest3 emulator is available and it look...INCREDIBLE !

You can also sign into multiple Meta accounts simultaneously".

meanwhile you realize that the avg person out there doesnt even know that theres different models, or what an effort level is
> Gemini 4 Carbon, our next model
because of course carbon is the next model. Now, when they released Argon, I was like "ah, they'll name them after noble gases" and that seemed reasonable. Helium, Neon, Argon, KRYPTON, Xenon, Radon. All beautiful names, and very intuitive, heavier/scarier is more powerful, Helium is a super cheap classifer.
But apparently they didn't want to do that, because google cannot name or brand a product if their lives depended on it. So maybe they're going across the period then, right? Chlorine, Sulfur, Phosphorus... idk, not great, but they'd be in theme at least.
NOPE! The new model is named Carbon. What does Carbon have to do with Argon? Fucking nothing, that's what. Because fuck you. None of it matters. It'll be in your google drive plan and you're gonna use it because you don't care, and so google can name it by just throwing a dart at a table because nobody on their marketing team shows up to work. COOL!

I'm starting to sense a divide in the tech industry:
- People thriving on autonomy who are reinventing how they work and what tools they use with AI: LOTS of work, but they're enjoying it and getting very efficient
- People used to being mentored / trained / or simply told what to do and how. Frustrated with the lack of guidance from management on what to do with AI; also frustrated by seeing some of their peers thriving; increasingly bitter about AI and the state of the industry, as a whole
Neither group seems to be aware that there's another group, or have empathy for the other group

It’s sad to see Apple lose its design vision and taste. And I doubt it will ever get them back.
The problem is simple. In a company as big as Apple, it’s almost impossible for someone from design to become CEO.
We were lucky to see what happens when a company is defined by someone who thinks like a designer, not just a great salesperson, manager, or engineer.
So designers - build more. Create more. Start companies. Be CEOs.
