I'm not an iPhone user, but I use the MBP and MP. macOS itself is far, far better than Windows, but lately I've had weird issues with the security updates. Late last year a machine was bricked (yes, actually bricked). The 2018-002 and 2019-001 has taken me 2-3 times to get installed on > 5 machines.

The MBP keyboard, I hate it. I saw here on HN about the cable to the display is fixed to the display, so a previous $6 repair part is now many $100's, AND they fail after a year with lots of use. And this is all because of the touchbar--the cable has to go under it and it's thinner than before, so it fails quicker.

I've been waiting to get my CEO on a 32GB MBP for years. He's on Windows with VMware running large Linux VMs. 16GB can't get it done. I haven't upgraded him because of all the problems with the latest line.

No update to the Pro line... this has been flogged to death.

It's heartbreaking to watch Apple drop the ball, because every single time I have to use Windows it is a complete shitshow.
