2025-03-27
Apple's 2009 Mac OS X Snow Leopard, known for its refinement and optimization, stands as one of its most stable releases. However, current MacOS and iOS systems are plagued by bugs and poor design choices, such as broken copy-paste in Messages and a confusing System Settings interface. The author urges Apple to emulate Snow Leopard, undertaking a major system cleanup and optimization to address these issues instead of solely focusing on adding new features. This would enhance user experience, solidify Apple's position, and maintain competitiveness even amidst the fierce AI race.
