Ditching skeuomorphic UIs across the board was not an improvement. To call older iOSes gross looking is odd to me...they look dated because bad designers decided to make everything colorless and flat. Discrete buttons and UI elements, information density, colors/shapes by default, etc. We gave all that up for no reason.

Apple's purchase of PA Semi (plus others) and development of its own ARM designs is probably the biggest innovation in recent years. I'm fully on board with that and I hope Apple decides to buy / build a fab and sell chips to customers.

Also Siri lags behind just about every other search assistant that came after it. Everything else you mention is mostly derivative.
