Yes, but that's like saying McDonald's hamburger is not the best meat dish you ever had. It wasn't designed to serve you one, it's a fast-food franchise. Apple, on the other hand, tries -- at every turn -- to tame technology and its complexities. The entire company has been organized to deliver that end-to-end, as a mission. It's not an accident that J. Ive is not working for Argos, Creative or Moto. Complexity merchants like IBM, Microsoft, SAP, etc just have a different business model, as reflected in their non-strategic design efforts.
