Eh, maybe - I just remember being wrong myself about things like the iPad, for example. There was a ton of "it's just an oversized iPhone" speak everywhere but it turned out to be a pretty successful product (not better than iPhone but still successful by most standards). Right now there's a ton of "dongle catastrophe" speak.

Not saying that we should not demand more and better from Apple but I think many of the complaints are not very warranted.

For example, I don't know why people are complaining that MacOS has "suffered" compared to iOS. In my opinion, the latest Sierra version is way better than Lion for example.
