Apple Evaluates 2025 Product And Software Progress

Jason Snell's Six Colors published the 2025 Apple Report Card, and the author contributed survey responses assessing Apple's hardware and software. The report highlights a Mac renaissance driven by AI and Mac-only LLM features, praises the iPhone Air and iPadOS 26 improvements, but warns the iPad lacks access to modern AI tools, nudging power users toward Mac-first workflows. Wearables, Home, and Vision Pro receive lower marks.
