                   Apple in 2022: The Six Colors Report Card

   Adam Engst

   Jason Snell of Six Colors has released his annual [1]Apple Report Card,
   with ratings compiled from rankings submitted by 55 Apple-adjacent
   writers, editors, developers, podcasters, and other professionals,
   including several TidBITS contributors. This year, Hardware
   Reliability, Wearables (which includes products like AirPods), the
   Apple Watch (on its own), and the Mac topped the rankings, with HomeKit
   retaining its spot at the bottom.

   Last year, most categories dropped slightly, whereas this year, the
   results were mixed (see '[2]Apple in 2021: The Six Colors Report Card,'
   7 February 2022). Apple's three primary product segments'iPhone, iPad,
   and Mac'all fell again, rather precipitously for the iPad, while five
   other segments gained. For thoughts on why these rankings changed, read
   the full report, complete with pithy quotes from your favorite Apple
   pundits.
