Well since form following function is pretty much the definition of good design, I'd say they've definitely made some bad design.

Also, how come my wacom pen doesnt require charging? are apple fucks too cheap to buy the licence for the patent?

I've been playing with one of these lately. They're surprisingly alright, the bulky frame makes for comfortable palmrests and it's also decently durable on the whole, part of the reason why they made it such a bloated abortion.

But it has no fucking ports and the build quality of the cosmetic features is shoddy at best.

The question in the OP was just design in general, so it's a valid complaint.

And "muh antennagate" was a real thing. Apple admitted it and gave free cases to anyone who bought an iPhone 4.

>>59087697
OK, if we're being fair, though, you only have to charge the mouse for 30 (thirty) SECONDS. Then you can use it for literally WEEKS without needing to recharge it again. It's not that bad.

They still attract fingerprints and only have a single button - they might have muh minimalism going for them, but they're a bitch to use
>>
>>59088896
Only one button but you can still right-click in a way, though. You just have to click with two fingers. It's stupid, yeah, but it works.
>>
>>59088957
It is stupid, because the natural resting position on a mouse is 2 or 3 fingers making contact, and each finger being able to control a function.
"Works" is generous, "barely works and isn't worth paying for" is more accurate. I will admit their touchpads are god-tier and I kinda want one for my windows desktop

Their latest laptops are pretty fucking stupid with half the advertised battery life and dongles sold separately. IIRC the WLAN goes out when you connect external hard drives (not sure if that's fixed yet). The best part of them switching to USB C is that it uses Thunderbolt, but now those niggers are looking into ARM MacBooks. If they do another architecture switch, then most software will have to be used with a shitty x86 compatibility layer like we had with PowerPC apps. If they do that, then they will also no longer have Thunderbolt. When that happens, they'll either have to go back to USB A and other ports to stay relevant, making their current MacBooks incompatible, or they would have to keep using USB C that would basically be USB A 3 with a different connector shape.

Also every iPhone after the 3GS has been garbage in terms of user freedom and lacking one or more features, or having features that are just straight up broken/non-functional. Examples include the iPhone 4 not making calls like you would expect a $600 phone to do, but you were "holding it wrong". Let's not forget those iPhone 5 power buttons, iPhone 6 bending, and 6/6s not having underfill leading to the touch controllers getting fucked and requiring board repairs. The iPhone 7 doesn't have a headphone jack. I wonder what kinds of planned obsolescence we'll see in the next year from those.

One more thing is the iPads. That pencil sticking out of the bottom like a dick is fucking embarrassing. Same with the mice that charge from the bottom and the battery case with the giant bump on it.

The company is a complete clusterfuck. So much so that they're desperate enough to
>>
>>59085280
unredeemable ugly? not in recent memory. But sometimes the newer products aren't as pleasing as the ones they replaced. the 4th and 5th gen nanos being replaced by that little... shuffle with a screen come to mind. And I didn't appreciate the change to rounded edges on the post 5s phones. Glowing logo used to be a neat touch on the Macbooks too (I know it's missing on some of the newer ones)

Usability wise I'd have to have more hands on daily use experience to judge more products, but everything I've owned or had was a joy to use (4th gen Nano, Iphone 5/SE, iPad 2, iPad Mini)
The headphone jack removal on the last iPhone 7 is most objectionable usability choice they've made I can think of.
