Apple is Far from Perfection
Everything imperfect about the trillion-dollar corporation
Over the years, Apple has gained popularity for being the best innovator of premium-class products in the tech market. But best doesn’t always mean perfect.
Apple as a business is doing exceptionally well. Its revenues are touching outer space. iPhones have been the highest-sold smartphone for a decade consecutively. Even in a declining computer market, Macs are making huge profits. But things are different when we consider Apple as a manufacturer.

Yet, Apple gives us no choice but to regret this decision. If you own a pair of AirPods, it’s safe to assume that there is a visible black seam on either one of the two buds. That is the case with almost every pair…
