This year, Apple did a number of things that weren't received positively by the Apple's fanbase.
The company did show an effort to making the iPad Pro an ultimate alternative to the Mac computers. This was a move that wasn't received by power users, who know that the functionality of an upscaled mobile operating system can not compete to the desktop experience. At least not at it's current state.
The company also recently unveiled the new MacBook Pro, a device that was for years targeted at professionals. The newest model, however, lost all of it's simplicity by removing all the currently used standards, including the MagSafe. Therefore, there's a way bigger chance of having your MacBook Pro accidentally destroyed because of somebody slipping over the charging USB-C cable. This device also doesn't feel as a Pro device anymore. With Touch Bar being presented as a giant Emoji library during the event, the device instantly lost the Pro-value, and feels to me like a Placebo for pro-wannabes.
Apple under Timothy D. Cook even destroyed the pop-culture of Mac, a.k.a. the beloved shining logo. A thing that you could see basically on every music event and always put a smile on our faces when there dozens glowing at Microsoft's or Samsung's media events.
Recently, the company did another two not-so-well-received things. The most recent is the deceasing of the AirPort development. These were some incredibly useful devices that Just Worked. Unlike Timmy's beloved iCloud. I hope that Apple would sell the current ones for as long as possible and not just stop selling them by the end of this year.
Another thing, that's showing Tim Cook's silly vision of Apple, is that the company just fired the man who made the Automator and other pro tools. Craig Federighi says that the company would keep the software available on the macOS, but there's a chance that they simply won't be updated anymore, making them legacy utilities in future. And we know that Apple uses to remove legacy features.
So, we see that Apple is simply moving to the iOS and dumbing down on the Mac. Yet, Apple somehow forgets that developers, who provide software for it's beloved iOS, require power tools on the Mac. Removing the pro features means that developers might lose interest in using Mac. Giving up Mac means ceasing the development of iOS Apps. That would lead to shrinking down the App Store. That would lead to shrinking down the sales of iPhone, which now makes up over 50% of Apple's current revenue. And making Apple walk in Nokia's footsteps.
A not-so-impossible future scenario for the company, if it'd be led by the man that's currently leading it.
