About to begin writing my 2024 Tier Entry for the products/software Apple released in 2024.
What gets S-Tier? What gets F-Tier?
What gets S-Tier? What gets F-Tier?
Comments
Vision Pro gets F
Nothing screams Siri tier more than a new pair of headphones with old hardware
Just odd.
USB-C.
Besides, they still sound great, warts and all.
F - iPad Mini (2024)
Would also say iPhone 16 and iPad Pro for being so thin!
Magic mouse - FTier
iOS 18 could've been A as well, but it's been kinda buggy tbh. Maybe B or C?

As far as F... pick any other release that was nominal like the AirPod Max w/ USB-C. I also believe Siri should get an F every year it exists in its current state of not listening to basic commands.
D-tier for the Watch Ultra 2 and the Magic accessories
F-tier I don't think any of them is an F but if you have to put one down its probably the AirPods Max.
A-Tier: iOS 18, iPad Pro/Air/Pencil, watchOS 11, iPhone 16, M4 iMac, AirPods 4, 15" Air
B-Tier: iPhone 16 Pro/Max, Watch Series 10, iPad mini
C-Tier: Vision Pro, USB-C Mouse/Keyboard
D-Tier: Watch Ultra 2 Black, iPadOS 18
F-Tier: AirPods Max w/ USB-C
D - apple intelligence
F - any upgrade that only consists of replacing lightning with usb c
- All M4 devices, esp the Mini and the M4 Pro/Max.
- Hearing test and hearing aid functionality in AirPods Pro 2.
- Sleep Apnea detection on Apple Watch.
- For me personally, 4K120 on the 16 Pro.
A: iPad Pro is just barely under S, probably one of my favorite computing devices ever.
C: iPad Mini. Just a meh release, but sets it up for Apple Intelligence.
F: AirPods Max, Magic Keyboard/Mouse/Trackpad.
