But for Apple? This is...I don't know. Hopefully this WFO 3x per week will finally bring greatness back to Apple again.
Greatness has been missing for a while. We’ve been stuck with iterative products with minor updates since long before COVID. iPadOS has forever been lackluster and limited. It is not like if iOS became more buggy since 2020, iOS 12 has probably been the worst of them all and that one was produced in the office!
If anything the biggest innovation is the engineering marvel the M processors are. Those were introduced quite a few months into the pandemic and the more powerful variants even deeper into it.
I personally lead a global team in spread in all Geo’s and don’t care if my team members are in the office or home if they drive and achieve the expected outcome. The lazy ones were lazy before the pandemic (and was able to get a couple of them to exit the company). The good performers continued to perform as good as always, and if anything are thankful for more flexibility (and more open to having meetings after hours which is common for a global team as no time is good for everyone).
