I think Apple could quietly do a year of bigger stats if it got the software side right.
IOS isn’t broken but it wasn’t built for the default 6” screens iPhones have become. It needs some one-handed ‘hot-zone’ rethinks (nicking the back gesture from Android would be a start)
I don’t think iPad OS is that bad but the implementation of Stage Manager has been poor. It doesn’t quite replace the usual expose UX and it’s not that good at managing 6+ desktops. Notifications, the lock screen and the dashboard need some rethinks in 2023.
My Mac Mini tops out at a patched Catalina and I am more than happy with that. I can’t comment on recent updates.
