Still, why does criticism about Apple’s operating system matter?
For one, it reflects the story of Apple the company, whose
game-changing contribution to computing was humanizing it with the
now-ubiquitous desktop, folders, and mouse. Ever since, Apple has
been the company of aesthetics and usability within the cold,
efficient tech world. But the operating system is also the medium
through which we have every interaction with our phones,
computers, and tablets. The development of the operating system
tracks the story of the human relationship to technology.
