To me, the article reads as though the writer was looking for things to complain about.
He says the Apple watch is "kind of clunky and thick" and "doesn't slip sveltely under shirt sleeve cuffs or play nice with wrist guards. Those are insignificant things to me. I just wouldn't wear the watch under those conditions. The writer talks about how Apple could have changed the watch and made it groundbreaking but never said how or gave examples.
Seems the writer didn't like the new MacBook either. He talked about the "one lonely USB-C port". I thought the MacBook was to be the portable laptop one carried with you, not one that suits on your desk worth 10 different things plugged into it. For the majority of home users (I think), one port is good enough. My Dad, for instance, uses an iMac for email, contacts, a little YouTube and writing his Lions Club bulletin. He backs up to the cloud. He doesn't use all the ports he has now.
He goes on to bring up the Apple battery case again. I think that subject is old and worn out. I may be wrong here be I don't think Apple really wanted to put out a battery case for their phones. It goes against everything they toute about iPhone battery life. I think they did it to say they have one so we don't have to go to third party companies like Mophie.
Let's talk Airpods. They're not even out yet and the writer is complaining about them. Can one really complain about something that hasn't come on the market yet? I suppose, as demonstrated in the article but why? Doesn't seem reasonable. The writer assays they'll fall out of his ears but he's really won't know that until they come out. He says they look like q-tips. Yet he hasn't come up with anything better.
Now the pencil. The writer complains about having to plug in the pencil to the iPad Pro. He uses a jumping cat as an example to breaking the pencil while it's plugged in. Don't most people train their cats to stay off counters? Mt friends cat doesn't climb on her counters. He also talks about losing the cap and/or dongle connector. Sounds to me like the guy isn't too mindful of where he puts things.
In the end, the article seems to boil down to Steve Jobs not having his nose in every faucet of the Apple process anymore. I get the feeling the writer will probably find fault in every Apple product produced after Jobs passing. Some folks are like that.
