The M chips have been a truly impressive innovation. But on so many other levels Apple under Cook has just been resting on laurels - including putting out absurd industrial design faux pas’s like placing charging ports on the bottom of mice, or power buttons on the bottom of MacMinis, as well as deliberately making so many of their products close to impossible to repair. And on a software level Apple is a total mediocrity, I’ve never encountered a worst file manager for a current OS than when I use MacOS for work (professional audio production) & iOS for my kiddo’s iPad. Somehow those flaws haven’t prevented its massive financial success with their cult, but that seems to go with the times these days.
I have zero problems with power buttons on the bottom of minis. It’s a total non issue that’s another clickbaity thing for people to bitch about.
No Mac user I know ever shuts their machine down completely. It’s very quiet so they just go to sleep and wake instantly when the mouse or keyboard are used.
