they're just a mature company doing mature company things ... still there's a lot of really strong inertia:

the MacBook line of hardware is the best it's ever been

the phones continue to improve year over year incrementally sure but they're solid -- I'm very keen to see what the rumored folding iphone gets us

AirPods I can't live without

idk -- macOS26's spotlight just stole a lot of good things from things like Alfred and other launchers -- it continues to become a more useful OS

nothing I need to do for my day to day as a data engineer is hindered by being on a Mac -- linux and containers are useful and solved now (hello Colima)

maybe I am just a lost fanboy but im very happy currently

>the MacBook line of hardware is the best it's ever been

Only after 5 years of the worst it's ever been, something triggered a complete change of course and it's easy to forget how utterly awful the butterfly era was.

A lot of the rest of Apple feels like butterfly era thinking.
