Until it doesn't, e.g. upgrading your phone to a newer version of iOS and then not having Wifi range beyond 1-2 meters for a couple of months.

I used to be impressed with how Apple products 'just work', but recently they have noticeably started slipping in this area.

I agree, and that could be dangerous for Apple in the long run. But they still seem to be ahead, especially when it comes to laptops. I've used a Nexus 4 with great pleasure for about two years, and being back on an iPhone 5S, while slightly better (in my opinion), is only barely worth the higher cost.

I hope that happens to laptops too, because I'd love to have alternatives and some more competition.
