> I don't know how you even come to that kind of conclusion at all actually.

Because most products, including iOS/macOS now, have glaring annoyances or shortcomings that have gone unfixed for a long time.

If Tim Cook or even Craig Federighi etc. actually used iOS/macOS in their day to day lives, they would have run into those issues sooner or later and they'd be fixed in a day.

(Hyperbole is a thing but the point stands)



> Does any CEO

Plenty of CEOs do. The comment you replied to already questioned Tim Cook's usage of Apple products.

Most Apple executives are probably using a Mac. Most engineers at Apple probably code on a Mac. Most engineers in the Bay already use Macs and have been using them for many years.


Such a silly comment. Is your theory that everyone with any decision making authority at Apple doesn't actually use the product? Even when it comes to "glaring annoyances or shortcomings"?

So odd of you to frame this as some sort of personal outrage. Like I'm so annoyed by this "glaring issue" on my device clearly the people working on this don't even use it or "it would be fixed in a day". Lol. Maybe people who actually have to get things done at a trillion dollar company don't have the same constraints as you, or relatedly, the luxury to obsess over your so-called glaring issues.


It’s not a silly comment, both macOS and iOS have been decaying into dog shit over the years from obvious bugs that anyone who uses the apps and features being sold would run into very quickly.

Tim and other executives might be using their devices as email machines, but it’s not obvious they’re using everything they’re quite literally selling us.

A few random examples:

1: The iOS keyboard is literally broken https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hksVvXONrIo&pp=ygUQaW9zIGtleWJ...

2: The Music app is barely functional, and will regularly fail to play music. Here it is bugging out, and stacking multiple album covers https://imgur.com/a/Sg8oU1p

3: Offloading an app does not actually save any space https://imgur.com/a/l9vxnhO

There’s so many more, and none of these examples are edge cases.

Hey you try waiting 5+ years on a bug report/feature request for a simple thing. Or things like a rendering bug that survives all year throughout beta into the X.1 release (see the Tahoe Contacts app)

You'd give up. This "outrage" is all the outlet we have left. Shame the system that lets such crap get through!
