Maintaining software is not as fun as greenfield development, and Apple's strategy of assuming that their users should just throw away three year old devices seems not to work out any longer.

Yeah, as I've been saying...

Some may call all of this growing Apple consumer angst and issues "back luck", but I bet Steve Jobs would call it "bad karma".

Consumers with early 2011 MacBook Pros that died after 2-3 years didn't feel like they got a very good ROI on a 3-4,000 dollar laptop, go figure. Especially those that paid hundreds more for extended Applecare and had the defective GPU fail quickly after it expired.
