Recently, rumors that Apple may already be considering replacing its CEO have gained more and more force, not because of his actions, but rather at the behest of the protagonist himself who wishes to step down to secure the future. of the company, an attitude that honors you.
However, recently Apple took indiscriminate action in a strange situation, and if anything was not missing until a few years ago it was leadership in the company. The latest software glitches and failed launches make us think there is no one at the helm at Apple.
It should be noted that this is a personal opinion of the person who subscribes to these lines and has nothing to do with the editorial line or with the direction of Actualidad iPhone. However, the less striking is the fact that Apple has sparked countless memes in recent weeks, in turn adding to user dissatisfaction with the poor “finesse” with which Apple has dealt with iOS 15.
The notch in macOS Monterey, the drop of water
The notch of the new MacBook is well finished, because at the time the AirPods were the subject of a crass comedy, which also happened with the notch of the iPhone and ended up being copied by d ‘countless companies that have placed it for no rhyme or reason despite not having an apparent reason to do so (we remember that the reason for the notch is Face ID). On this occasion however, the zero integration of this notch in macOS Monterey is totally intolerable.

Whether we’re working with a well-integrated app or not, the mouse disappears from the UI while we take up the notch space, i.e. virtually macOS doesn’t recognize that it doesn’t. there is no screen there, and it looks like we’re facing a perfect rectangle. Something similar is happening with the apps Quinn Nelson shows us in the videos above. Regards me I find it hard to believe that no one at Apple Park in Cupertino has the ability to properly integrate the notch into the user interface.
It goes without saying that we are talking about a laptop at a prohibitive price and that not content with that it is dedicated to the professional environment, precisely the least intolerant of this type of detail than the Apple of yesteryear, even at Tim Cook’s Apple, I don’t know they would have forgotten it.
It should have been an overflow like this, but with a more whimsical fade to the side – this is just a lazy demo pic.twitter.com/O1B79xo0Bt

Any tweeter with a bit of envy can come up with an interesting alternative, one of those Apple ends up copying and presenting at the next WWDC as if it was the cure for cancer, a cancer that they themselves created.
This is not an isolated case at the software level
We could have a certain level of tolerance, even if as a consumer of products premium I don’t think you have to have it. We are paying a higher price precisely to avoid these problems that make a tech maker one of many. But if we want to apply the vote of confidence, we would have to turn the other cheek. We find that iOS 15, a system that you saw me defend tooth and nail in the #ApplePodcast that we are bringing to life, and who has been criticized the most in recent years for its lack of relevant news.
Someone should be embarrassed in Cupertino with the botch they are doing in iOS 15. pic.twitter.com/Cr7wUsCZOe

The absence of novelties is an improvement of the existing one, right? Nothing is further from reality, iOS 15 is full of intolerable bugs, starting with the incorrect operation of the calculation of the% of the battery and the state of health of the latter, accompanied by overheating with undemanding apps like Spotify, screen sensitivity errors and the aberration they made with Safari, which deserves a separate article.
We come to two conclusions: Either Apple’s quality standards in terms of software have dropped sharply, or there is a programming team that is limited to meeting a list of goals with no one behind who cares about the quality of the result. This is not what you would expect from a self-described product premiumIf this was not the case, it is difficult for me to understand that Apple trusts so much in itself that it sells us a rag of extremely small dimensions for around 25 dollars, that Actualidad iPhone we decided to baptize as the iTrapo.
It’s not just software
Let’s remember No one remembers the AirPower anymore? Curious considering that they are the ones who voluntarily decided to announce some renderings of a product that allowed us to charge all of our iDevices at the same time, or at least the iPhone, AirPods and iPhone. However, on March 29, Apple warned with a statement that we should get used to the idea that we will never be able to pay hundreds of dollars for a wireless charger (a little later they launched another less. elegant which also gives a story). In this version Apple claimed AirPower did not meet Cupertino company’s quality standards and therefore the project was dead.
Another example is that a year ago Apple introduced the MagSafe Duo charger, a charger for iPhone and Apple Watch at a prohibitive price (150 $) which has become obsolete in less than twelve months, and the fast charging of the Apple Watch Series 7 is not compatible with this product. Not only that, but the iPhone 13 also had problems with the MagSafe Duo, due to the charging module, it does not fit properly and its correct charging is prevented. A real scandal considering that mobile devices have at least a year and a half of development, didn’t you know that it would not come in the future with the iPhone 13? I find it hard to believe that they can seriously launch a charger which the following year would not be compatible with the products of the company for which it is intended.
These issues are inevitable in all brands, however, I find it hard to believe how regularly they occur in a brand like Apple, which claims just the opposite.
