I think I am starting to get worried about the future of Apple.

2016 was a bad year. New iPhone has been the worst selling one in relative numbers since the iPhone. New MacBooks has several issues and controversial choices, while not bringing anything substantial to the table. New Watch changes are so small, nobody noticed an update.

Yeah it really feels like they're in full Ballmer mode and just capitalizing off of their own popularity right now rather than continuing to innovate (and doing it badly, at that). I was through-and-through a fanboy for the past 15+ years, but I've finally started moving away from the Apple ecosystem. Both their hardware & software QC has clearly been going downhill, and their design decisions are increasingly frustrating to the end user.
