Nope, Apple delivers the best hardware out there, Anthropic doesn't, they dumb dound, nerf it, put in constraints.
Yes, Apple provides a closed ecosystem, this isn't news. Anthropic is manufacturing the closed ecosystem themselves now, trying to capture via regulation.

I think the reason is that after all the benchmark comparisons, anthropic models still perform much more reliably and better in day to day use. Every day now there is a new supposedly fable level model that then somehow completely vanishes in a couple of days. While fable is still the best model and if only it were cheaper less people would be hating I suppose.
This really reminds of the spec comparison obsession android users had in the 2010s. Every 6months an 'iPhone killer' was released, but they were only ever superior in total isolation.

Great, can we have thought traces back yet?

the credibility of using vercel data - means the journos were lazy.
vercel is mostly used by the 'next.js' kids - so that ain't gonna paint the full picture.
again vercel is just reselling aws services at high marked up prices - so people paying for vercel again are most likely to pay for anthropic models. though we know models are a commodity at this point - without major differentiation.
what a lazy analysis.

If Vercel is just reselling aws services at high marked up prices to ‘next.js kids’ then you’re the old man screaming at the cloud and incapable or unwilling to dedicate the brain power to understand the value in something that didn’t exist when you were a ‘kid’
It’s a lazy opinion.

The choice of words is poor, but the argument is sound.

My hot take: the only people willing to pay for LLMs are using it for code generation, and they prefer Claude.

Except Apple does not really innovate. They just polish until it looks shiny.
Just look at the upcoming flip phones, but the examples are numerous.

This seems misinformed. Mac, iPod, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Apple Silicon.
Not every product iteration changes the world, but they’ve pushed the industry forwards much more than most.
If they, “don’t really innovate,” who do you think does?

That’s what it means to build a product. So the comparison fits perfectly: Both offer the best polished (-> real-world usable) products in their category.

UI, polish, and customer experience are innovation. It takes an enormous amount of work to build consistent user experiences and build products that make choices on behalf of users that don't alienate those same users, yet Apple is able to consistently do that in ways that produce fervent customers who love their products.
I personally don't like or use most Apple products outside of my work MacBook pro, but I recognize the value and innovations there.
