Yeah there's a couple examples but the article is mostly just general griping, which, like I said, I'm bored of.
I should be clear; there are plenty of things to complain about with Apple. They aren't a perfect company and their products aren't perfect. But we see articles like this one make the rounds several times a year and it's always the same "Apple's not as good as it was X years ago!"
