Apple is brilliant in a number of subtle things, but it sometimes gets pushed by the shoe when it comes to the basics

As such, Apple today enjoys enormous popularity and a considerable group of rock fans. There's really nothing to be surprised about. Its products are popular worldwide and are relied on by thousands of users every day. Undoubtedly, the biggest driver is the Apple iPhone, but the Apple Watch is also the king in its category. Likewise, Apple computers are now growing in popularity thanks to the transition from Intel processors to Apple's own Silicon solutions.

Clearly, we have to admit that what Apple does, it does well. He knows his target audience and knows how to sell his products. At the same time, its products and software are equipped with small details that facilitate work. In this respect, the Cupertino giant deserves a thumbs up. On the other hand, it is not for nothing that it is said that all that glitters is not gold, which clearly also applies to Apple. Although we can appreciate him for something, in some cases, on the contrary, we just shake our heads and wonder why something like this happened in the first place.

The little things we love and hate

At the moment, however, we mainly mean little things that are not visible at first glance, but can delight and freeze during everyday use. For example, we can cite the new iPadOS 15.4 system for iPads. Depending on how you're currently holding the tablet, the tablet will dynamically adjust the volume buttons so that it always makes sense. You can see how it works in practice on the image below. This novelty is exactly the perfect example of how products can be embellished to perfection so that the user does not have to worry about using them. But as we all know, such positive little things don't come around that often and we usually have to wait for them.

But now let's move to the other side of the barricade, or to the little things, whose benefit to users is rather questionable. There is one thing that bothers me personally. If we have a MacBook with Touch ID, we lose the traditional power button, since the Mac can be turned on by pressing literally any key. Just tap and we're done. Likewise, if we have it off and closed, then if we open even just the lid, it will turn on again. Honestly, this is a rather annoying problem that worries me mainly when cleaning the device. I prefer to do this with the Mac turned off, but as soon as I press any key, it turns on automatically. Through the terminal, you can only turn off the automatic boot after opening the lid. In that case, just type (without quotes) “sudo nvram AutoBoot =% 00" and confirm with a password. To reactivate, use the command "sudo nvram AutoBoot =% 03". But as for turning it on using any key, unfortunately there is no solution for that.

Little things make big things

At the same time, it is necessary to realize that the devices or systems themselves generally consist of such little things. For this reason, it is quite a shame that while at one moment we can be happy about the flawless functioning, which also facilitates the use itself, the next we are struggling with something annoying that we can't even do anything about.
