Another product/platform that Google will ruin.  It's done a great job taking the best video site ever created and turning it into an advertisement and voter manipulation machine.

It never fails to amaze me why these guys do this s**t. As a corporate lawyer for Apple, I'll bet he was on a pretty sweet salary...

I looked it up and it's not as much as you might think....likely $250K, depending on where he lived (New Jersey?).   That's about the going rate in his field.

Most of this doesn't even matter because it is still a god awful bug ridden mess. They can't even get Complete status to sync properly between devices. Recurring Reminders are still plagued by inconsistent behavior: duplicates, appearing on days they aren't scheduled for, on and on.

Exactly.  I'll go further:  I hate the new Reminders app.  There are too many steps.  I also have to click "new reminder" on the bottom left to add a new one, whereas before I just clicked the next line.  Setting date and time is separated now, and it's annoying.  When I first setup iOS 13, it transferred my reminders, then deleted them, then put them back after I manually re-added them.   The new app is a bloated mess.  

I have a similar complaint with Mail.  While the new app seems much faster at checking and downloading, they've added an extra step to mark all messages as read.  It used to be just "edit, mark all, mark all as read."  Now it's "edit, select all (top left), mark (bottom left), mark as read."   Annoying.  

Someone is trying to sell a book.  I highly doubt this would have happened.

There are headwinds for Apple with regards to the competition. It is playing catch-up. Whether they catch up this year or not is a mystery. Part of its sales will hinge on that. Another part will hinge on price and another part of geopolitical issues.

The last four years haven't really moved the needle on shipments. That in itself is telling.

Catch up, precisely how?

Let's go further....telling, how? 

As much as I think this analysis may be off, I do think the 2019 iPhone is going to be underwhelming.  I have an XS Max, and I just doubt I'm going to turn it in to upgrade.  I think I'd rather pay it off over another year.
