2024 Six Colors Apple Report Card
- A recent report has summarized Apple's performance during the past year, looking at a broad sense of sentiment among writers, podcasters, and other Apple experts.
- Apple's new M4 Macs are strong, but still face some display and USB issues. However, new features like the nanotexture display have impressed users the most. Unfortunately, the Mac Pro and Mac Studio still use M2 processors, while the software side remained a mess in terms of reliability and design.
- The new iPhones seem fine, but not impressively different from older models. iPad users have resigned themselves to the software in spite of better hardware. Wearables, Apple Watch, and AirPods 4 have been well-received, with the increasing irrelevance of Apple Vision Pro.
- HomePod, the Matter ecosystem, and Apple TV saw few changes this year. iMessage and Siri still have poor functionality, though Apple Pay and iCloud still do well.
- Hardware reliability has been decent, but OS quality has declined to an unbearable level. Finder bugs, mounting issues, and kernel panics dominate the user experience. Development relations have stagnated over the past year, with no meaningful change in bug reporting, documentation, or quality assurance.
- Apple's impact in the world received no votes in this year's survey.
