John Siracusa graded Apple's year based on his list from February 2.
You'll have to click through to read his thoughts, but his grades and any short comments I have are below:
Ship OS X 10.9 and iOS 7: A-
Diversify the iPhone Product Line: B+ - Except that the 5c isn't selling particularly well. It's still selling millions, but compared to other models…
Keep the iPad on track: A-
Introduce more, better Retina Macs: B- - I think the most disappointing was the lack of a 4K display for the new Mac Pro, perhaps.
Make Messages work correctly: D - At least you can block individuals now, though. I don't think a D is a fair grade here. I use Messages heavily, on my Mac and iOS devices.
Make iCloud better: C - Yeah, and Tim Cook will shit Skittles. 😀 It's a complex issue… But I'm still paying for (and using) Dropbox, so…
Resurrect iLife and iWork: B- Meh. You're only pissed about these if you used a good chunk of the advanced features.
Reassure Mac Pro lovers: A
Do something about TV: F I don't know what else they could have done, realistically speaking.
