I’m getting so tired of Apple.

TL;DR

Apple's software quality has collapsed and its predatory policies punish developers, with bugs wasting billions of human hours while Apple rakes in $10B annually.

Key Points

• 1.macOS 26 (Liquid Glass) was force-installed despite manual prevention, and ships with inconsistent corner radii across windows — even in first-party apps like Finder
• 2.iOS 26 broke the Photos app: a one-tap workflow to grab recent screenshots now requires three taps, all in the hardest-to-reach screen zones
• 3.Apple Pay has had an inverted UI for 2 years — tapping the card image changes your address, not your card; tapping "change payment method" changes the card
• 4.bugsappleloves.com estimates Apple's unfixed bugs waste 32.4 million years of human time per year, with mail search failure alone costing 13.5 billion hours annually
• 5.Autocorrect overrides manual corrections repeatedly; a third-party startup (Whisper Flow) solved this better than Apple has in 20 years of keyboard development
• 6.AirDrop is so unreliable that transferring a 500GB ProRes file required discovering an undocumented trick using the scanner app (Image Capture), saving hours over AirDrop
• 7.Apple's dynamic UI lists reorder mid-click, causing accidental taps — a fireable-offense-level bug that could be fixed with a 500ms interaction cooldown after reordering
• 8.Apple suppresses employee identity and agency completely — no Apple engineer can publicly acknowledge a bug or take credit for features, driving away top talent
• 9.Apple forces Patreon to pay 30% on creator subscriptions or face App Store removal by November 1st — Apple earns 3–5x more per transaction than Patreon does
• 10.Apple made over $10 billion from App Store fees in the US alone in 2024, lost to Epic in court three times, and repeatedly acted in bad faith to protect that revenue
