All of them? The author points at some particular issues they have had and concludes that all Apple services are garbage?! Well, except for iMessage and FaceTime.

I’ve been using Apple Music, iCloud Drive, bookmark sync, etc. for many years with zero issues. I even host my email at iCloud (since Google pulled the rug on the free Google Apps tier)—no issues whatsoever.

My family has also had zero issues.

Google Maps has a disgusting UX and I hate it every time I need to use it (for the reviews). Apple Maps has been great for the past few years. And don’t get me started on Dropbox with their monstrosity Electron client. F*ck that. Or the silly Spotify client that can’t do smart playlists and has no concept of genres.

IME, while not perfect, Apple’s services’ quality is far above the competition’s.

Yeah same here. Sure they're not perfect, but in 2025/2026 what services are perfect exactly?

To me, the article reads with a lot of exaggerated hostility towards Apple specifically for issues that are so commonplace nowadays. Not defending them, but I think it's unfairly targeting one company.

Apple Arcade is a pretty quick and easy way to avoid games with gambling in them.
