Apple is absolutely right which is why I favor their products.The technology has to be there, but it has to get out of the way.
The tech needs to be in the background so the experience can take center stage.
The moment I got a MacBook some years ago, I IMMEDIATELY understood the difference subconsciously.
It just made sense and it was easy.
Things were where you'd think they'd be, I never had to "look under the hood" at a problem (Mianly because there were never any problems) and by the tech taking care of itself out of view, I was able to focus completely on the computing.
I've learned worlds of things about general computing on Macs and PCs because of my Mac and the streamlined, straightforward approach.
I agree, Apple is getting a bit pompous with their message, but what innovators and leaders weren't at some point. If you want others to believe in your message, you better believe in it more than anyone else and you better push it harder/further than anyone else.
At this point, Apple can say whatever they want because they get it.
When the products fail to back the words, then we have cause for concern and consternation, but it's rather amusing when people favor competitor products from markets segments that were dying and stagnant while talking down Apple products when you're device of choice is imitating Apple's product.
We're all entitled to our preference, but give respect where respect is do.
You don't have to like Apple's stuff, but if you like something that otherwise wouldn't exist if Apple didn't rejuvenate or create that market and show other manufacturers how it's supposed to be done, a simple "thank you" would be nice.
Just show respect...
